On: South Park Responds to Being Banned in China for “...

[sunkenvicar]

Worth a click through. The full episode is available to watch for free.

[kevcampb → sunkenvicar]

"Due to copyright and other legal issues, this South Park episode cannot be viewed in your Country"

So yes, banned in China (Hong Kong)

[blago → kevcampb]

Same message in Vietnam. I don't think it has anything to do with the ban.

Yeah, not available in the UK or ireland either.

[probably_wrong → kevcampb]

Same in Germany, as it always has been.

[ahartmetz → probably_wrong]

But you can watch it in German or English on their official German presence southpark.de.

Sadly, the video quality there isn't quite what I would get from pirated versions - to put it mildly.

And considering that cartoon style videos don't even need much bandwidth for good quality to begin with, this seems really weird.

[ahartmetz → mAritz]

Hm? The quality is just fine IME if you set it to high / HD / whatever.

[mAritz → ahartmetz]

Maybe I'm just blind. I found a bunch of font settings, some color settings (backgrounds etc.) and language. But no quality setting.

[godelski → kevcampb]

Is it just this episode or all episodes?

[gsq → godelski]

all episodes. search "south park" or "南方公园"(south park in Chinese) on video website of China, you got nothing.

Not in 'UK and Ireland' though, just FYI anyone (t)here following advice to click through.

[big_chungus → sunkenvicar]

It wouldn't load for me, even after dis-abling my ad blocker. You can download it with youtube-dl, however, and view it that way.

[skybrian → sunkenvicar]

Well, free but with lots of ads, like network TV.

[iamaelephant → sunkenvicar]

Not in New Zealand either.
