The Simpsons, South Park and Family Guy banned in Russia?

I know the news is a few days old but I just learned about it.
Damn!
The shows are judged to be “extremist” and “immoral” and would be replaced by shows teaching the little Russian kids to be “patriotic”.

The Russian channel 2×2 broadcasted an episode of South Park promoting “religious hatred”. The Kremlin has begun hearings on whether or not to revoke 2x2’s licence!
The episode in question is Mr. Hanky’s.
Yeah, who would want a piece of crap (litteraly) talking to children?
Fortunately, it seems the channel will keep its license after fans staged protests for 2×2.
The channel still faces a criminal investigation on charges of extremism for broadcasting South Park, also known as a cartoon that “propagandises violence, cruelty, pornography and anti-social behaviour.”

Ouch.
