They even banned Prince from China, can u imagine a country where u can't buy CD's from Prince?OMG!
You know, I think Prince is talented but I don't understand why he can't record a song that is less than an hour and a half long. Am I the only one who has noticed that his songs go on and on and on?

Did you people even read the article?
They're not banning these shows, but rather limiting the times in which they can be shown. It's just a lame attempt to help out their poor animation studios do better, restricting viewers at a certain time to only native-made cartoons. This only side steps the real problem though--that these animators suck, and TV stations will suffer the consequences when viewers change the channel to something else. Without any real competition for prime time positions, these shows will become even worse because they have a monopoly for specific times. Though to be frank, it's not really a big deal and considering what the cartoon viewers prefer, foreign-made shows, this ploy will backfire and it'll most likely be back to the old ways.

I think he was quoting The Simpsons; the episode where Lisa becomes president.
Plus it's not the country that's bad, just the way it is being run, don't group a 6th of the world's population into your little bash.

Well, plenty of other nations have banned, or heavily censored, or put a watershed on other shows and the Simpson's. Certain Middle Eastern countries spring to mind.
And then there are nations that simply never imported them to begin with.

First, I'm sure you realize there is some exageration. But I got that from listening to them. And on average his songs last forever! Especially his 80's music. It must have been the cocain.
