The kids of South Park are causing trouble again, but this time in Russia. The issue of banning popular cartoons in Russia is interesting because it shows how Russia’s government is intruding in all aspects of the media, even entertainment. Like the United States and countries around the world, South Park is causing controversy and facing censorship. However, in Russia it is on the verge of being banned from television along with other popular American cartoons like the Simpson’s. Although the banning of cartoons for things that some of the audience feel is vulgar happens frequently around the world, it is a huge infringement on the free press in Russia. If this censorship is allowed to continue and the cartoons banned, it will just be another example of how Russia’s press is not free. The government should step aside and Russian people should be allowed to choose what they want to watch.
