It seems that the arrogance of such groups who try and force their views on others by demanding that they be incorporated into policy matters knows no boundaries.

They're mad about South Park? Let's hope they don't discover the insidious homosexual agenda of Sponge Bob Squarepants!

A fair chunk of Russia is Atheist. A visible throwback to USSR, when communism taught that there was no God. Russia's society is a fair amount more secular than in the US.

Well the only question you have to ask yourself in Russia is "Do you think Putin would approve?"

If it gets on tv then the answer is yes, so suck it puritan.

OK, fark you for messing with MY childhood memories. Go ahead and fark with the under-30 crowd's memories, but leave Yogi alone, dammit!

You know what we need to fix Iraq? Air South Park. "Edgy" cartoons are pretty much the only thing that can bring all the Muslims, and even the Christians, to the same table in agreement. We just need lots of stuff that's ambiguously gay or makes fun of how silly religion is, all the time. That way they'll have no time to fight with each other.

You know, if these groups paid any attention to the messages in South Park, they'd probably learn something. They are just like Eric Cartman, sans the intelligence and planning abilities.

"Through the use of cartoons this channel is pumping, day and night, an ideology into the consciousness of minors of perversion and other vices," said the council in a statement released this week.

No double entendres there.

 
Silverstaff 2008-03-16 07:34:10 PM  
Fark.ru? There is a Russian version of Fark? Is this a joke or real?

There's a Yakov Smirnov joke that I think would get eaten by the Fark filters in there somewhere.

Oh and yeah, Putin is a scary dude. Former KGB & 6th Degree Black Belt in Judo, he's like a James Bond villain made real, even looks like a movie villain.

Compare this to Canada's Bill C-10 which would deny government funding to movies with too much violence, sex, or "promoting a gay agenda" according to the evangelist who claims "credit" for it. I'm wondering whether Canada is a puritan or secular state. Under Harper, I'd have to lean towards Bible thumping Alberta Baptist theocracy. Putin's less One Man Rule than Harper.

The commercials provide a refractory period between episodes of pumping.

More seriously, I believe the decades of of communist rule pretty much broke the back of societal religion in Russia. Now the only people who go to church are the people who really mean it, and their numbers are quite small.

It's been 3? (or 4?) generations since anybody grew up in an atmosphere where religion was considered normal or expected. folks have discovered that it is indeed possible to go on about their daily lives without God butting in.

We all know that the Wiggles, the Doodlebops, Barney and especially Tinky Winky are all part of the conspiracy to force the radical homosexual agenda on our children. If this effort helps push them off the air, I'm all for it

He kinda reminds me of Le Chiffre without the scar, to be honest with you.... Either that, or Daniel Craig's dad.

The gut sucking pose was also copied by Tony Blair, who also got himself pshopped to look beefier.

I believe comedian/satirist Harry Shearer (Simpsons voices/bass player in "Spinal Tap") once put out a CD entitled "If You Want Free Speech, Go to Russia!".

Satire is apparently rolling over in its grave.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure you'd need to go to the Middle East to find a country less secular than the US.
