Desene animate cenzurate

Un fragment din South Park in care aparea premierul rus, Vladimir Putin, a fost cenzurat joi de un post de televiziune din Rusia.

Din episodul difuzat marti de postul de desene animate pentru adulti 2X2, a fost eliminata o secventa in care unul dintre personajele principale, Kyle, il contacteaza telefonic pe presedintele rus, din acea perioada, Vladimir Putin, pentru a-i cere sprijinul sa trimita o balena pe luna.

Putin a considerat apelul ca fiind o gluma a presedintelui american George W. Bush si il injura inchizand telefonul.

La o saptamana dupa ce a fost avertizat in privinta difuzarii de continuturi "extremiste", postul 2X2 a oprit difuzarea a 12 desene animate, dintre care South Park si The Simpsons.

Sute de fani ai desenelor animate au organizat in 2008 mitinguri la Moscova si la Sankt Petersburg pentru a-si manifesta sprijinul fata de postul de televiziune.
