Simpsons And Family Guy Should Be Banned?

The Simpsons Found Not Guilty By Russian Court

A Moscow court has ruled that a complaint by a Muscovite who wanted the world-famous cartoons The Simpsons and Griffins to be banned from Russian TV was baseless.

The cartoons will continue to be broadcast as scheduled and will not be deemed “for adults only”.

Igor Smykov, the plaintiff, first went to court three years ago claiming that the cartoons popularize violence, drugs and homosexuality. He believes that watching The Simpsons made his six-year-old son nervous and naughty and its characters taught him to swear.

He also sought $10,000 in moral damages from the Russian channel REN-TV that broadcasts the cartoons.

Earlier this month Smykov received support from some State Duma deputies. The MPs said that the cartoons were “crammed with violent and aggressive episodes and introduced antagonism between children and parents”.

However, the politicians’ backing failed to help the claimant obtain a favorable verdict.

So...Who is raising and teaching his kids then?...The television or the parents?.....Just one more case of 'blame everyone/anyone/everything/anything but the parents'... :rolleyes:

Yay, glad to see the American way of life is going strong in russia :rolleyes:


I guess its a good thing they didnt have beavis and butthead. Fucking retard.

Considering his country is practially run by ex-KGB people (the russian mafia) and breakaway nations formed by Russia's old republics are selling nuclear weapons, i would think that his kid getting killed or kidnapped for child prostituion would be a bigger concern.

But then again, my first kid isnt born yet, so what do i know about being a worried parent....:rolleyes:
