The Simpsons And South Park Restricted In Russia (They’re Too Violent For Children)

Because of a new law passed “with a view to protecting children and young adults from ‘information detrimental to their health and development’,” The Simpsons will air with the “Itchy and Scratchy Show” segments blacked out. (The broadcaster promises to do the blacking-out wittily.) And because the death of Kenny in every episode might upset youngsters, South Park will only be shown during late-night hours.
