Woman Tries to Sue South Park

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the blame-southpark dept.

*Menace* writes "So, it seems that a Canadian mother sued South Park because her young son's name is Kenny, and watching the show's Kenny die horribly week after week has given the real-life Kenny some psychological issues to deal with." Fortunately, she lost, but its a pretty amusing article anyway.

    First she didn't sue south park. She complained to a regulatory commision. As far as I can tell this is roughly the same as complaining to the FCC in the US. Second, for all of you saying, "canada is stupid because of this," think about it for a second. What would have happened if this lady lived in the US. It WOULD have been a law suit and she probally would have won. The commision she complained to essentially said, "ma'ma you are an idiot." They didn't take any negative action against the show and said that it, "is an adult cartoon," or that she shouldn't be letting her kid watch it in the first place. I think canada did a much better job dealing with this than the us would have. Yet another reason to move to canada some day.
