German public broadcaster WDR (West German Broadcasting Company financed by public fees) has withdrawn a comedy program one day before it was meant to be sent.
The comedy programme "Kebekus" named after the comedian Carolin Kebekus (who is known for her extreme comedy formats) was meant to be sent on a channel specifically targeting young (teens and twens) viewers. The show had been produced months ago and had been given okay by the channel weeks ago. One day before it was meant to be sent however, the channel intervened and stopped it because of a comedy rap video making fun of the Catholic Chuch. (see below).
It is believed that church officials who are members of the administrative council of all public broadcasters in Germany personally intervened.

It's a rap song, it's impossible to translate

The problem already starts because the German word for Thank You "Danke" is pronounced like "Dunking"...

The autogenerated subtitles on there are hilarious. I suggest you all give it a look
Outside the ordered universe is that amorphous blight of nethermost confusion which blasphemes and bubbles at the center of all infinity—the boundless daemon sultan Azathoth, whose name no lips dare speak aloud, and who gnaws hungrily in inconceivable, unlighted chambers beyond time and space amidst the muffled, maddening beating of vile drums and the thin monotonous whine of accursed flutes.
