"The Simpsons" to be sued in European Court of Human Rights!
http://www.ananova.com/news/story/sm_1625169.html

A Russian lawyer plans to take his case against The Simpsons to the European Court of Human Rights.

It comes after a Moscow Court rejected Igor Smykov's appeal to have the show banned from Russian TV.

Mrr Smykov wanted to have the cartoon series taken off the air in Russia, or at least shown at a later time, claiming it promoted drugs, violence and homosexuality.

He also demanded £6,000 in compensation from TV channel REN-TV saying the show had morally damaged his nine-year-old son.

But the Moscow City Court rejected his appeal and Smykov says he now plans to take the case to European Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg.

2. Reminds me of the Canadian woman who tried to sue South Park
because her son was named Kenny and he was traumatized that a kid named Kenny was being killed every week!

3. Yeah I heard about that.
I guess the world needs idiots. I don't know what for, but there must be a reason for them that simply escapes me.
