"MOSCOW (Reuters) – Prosecutors in Russia want to ban the award-winning satirical U.S. cartoon 'South Park,' calling the series 'extremist' after receiving viewer complaints, a spokeswoman said on Monday.
'South Park,' a cartoon aimed at adults and featuring a group of nine-year olds in a Colorado town, has courted controversy since its 1997 debut, lampooning celebrities, politicians, religion, gay marriage and Saddam Hussein.
But investigators have filed a motion after deciding an episode broadcast on Moscow television station 2x2 in January 'bore signs of extremist activity,' said regional prosecutors office spokeswoman Valentina Titova."
