Moscow Court Rolls Collective Eyes
"The plaintiff, Igor Smykov, filed the suit against television station RenTV almost three years ago, claiming the two series were morally degenerate and promoted drugs, violence and homosexuality, The Moscow Times reported Monday."
Which two series? Why, The Simpsons and Family Guy, of course. To his credit, Igor Smykov wanted a modest $10,770 in compensation.
"The plaintiff said that his son Konstantin, who was 6 in 2002, approached his parents after watching an episode of Family Guy and asked them what cocaine was. After he was reprimanded, Konstantin called his mother a toad, Smykov said."
