Court rejects attempt to ban MTV airing cartoon
A Munich court today rejected a call by the city’s archdiocese to ban MTV’s airing of the cartoon Popetown, saying the Vatican parody is “too dumb to be insulting".
Amid the outcry to air the cartoon, particularly from conservative and heavily Catholic Bavaria, the music television network said last week it would broadcast only the first episode, then consider public reaction before deciding to air more.
