#1 South Park's shtick is to push the boundries of satire and the freedom of speech. Both are foreign concepts to the Russians. I'm not surprised that they find it confusing and not at all funny. I think its a real side splitter myself, but I'm not a ruskie.

#2 I guess they didn't get the episode lampooning World of Warcraft -- some of the funniest sh*t I've ever seen.

#3 Well, now, you know what this means? If I were Stone & Parker, I'd be doing my next episode in RUSSIAN.

Oh boy, did they ask for it!

#7 Putin is upset that nobody backed his claim of absorbing those Georgian provinces. So he figures by attacking SouthPark he might at least get North Korea on baord (since you have to imagine Kimmie hates them after Team America).

#8 bigjim-ky, I know it's not a scientific data sample, but the Tsar loves the show and so do a lot of his Russky buddies. Trust me, they get it just fine. That's probably why Putie's worried.

If they follow logi_cal's suggestion, I know someone personally who would probably love to help them with it.

#10 Now that you mention it South Park's Mr. Hanky DOES resemble Putin.
