Russians Say Nyet To 'South Park'

By Eriq Gardner

After 10 seasons, it's hard to believe there's a person on Earth who could still be shocked by an episode of "South Park." But prosecutors in Russia are taking steps to ban the show after some groups, including the Russian Union of Christians of Evangelical Faith, didn't like an episode broadcast on the 2×2 channel that featured Christmas songs including a medley duet performed by Santa Claus and Jesus Christ.

According to the Times in London, prosecutors said they agreed with the Christian group that the program "could provoke ethnic conflict and spark inter-religious hatred."

In 2006, the country passed a law widening the definition of extremism to include "the abasement of national dignity" and "inciting religious and national hatred." They should see what happens to Canada in the "South Park" movie.
