Episodes of adult animation South Park containing depictions of the Prophet Muhammad were removed from HBO Max.
Of the five episodes removed from HBO Max, three are also unable to stream on the South Park website.
South Park is the latest cartoon to battle with problems of racism, with actors Kristen Bell and Jenny Slate stepping down from voicing black characters on Central Park and Big Mouth respectively.
However, five episodes of the controversial comedy containing cartoons of the Prophet Muhammad did not make the cut, with sources telling Deadline that the missing episodes were discussed and pulling them was ‘agreed upon in advance’.
