South Park is a litmus test and so is subordination to the Chinese party leadership’s egos.

I wonder if we’re witnessing the shift of economic gravity center and if companies like Apple are running long term analyses of the costs of protecting their brand in one market at the risk of tarnishing it in another.

South Park is important and has its place, but it's obvious that place could never be a family-friendly streaming service like Apple offers.

Apple does not advertise their streaming service as "family-friendly." It's surprising that they didn't make a single bid on a show as big as South Park.
