UFC BANNED ON GERMAN TV!

The Ultimate Fighting Championship has been banned from German television. The Bavarian state office for new media (BLM) revoked the promotion’s broadcast clearance on Thursday for programming including "The Ultimate Fighter," "UFC Unleashed" and "UFC Fight Night," which had been televised on German sports television channel DSF since March 2009.

German censorship is a bit nuts. They are even considering banning all “violent” games.

As long as they keep naked news, they’re still good with me.

The UFC is corrupting German children.

I heard it’s mainly because German politicians thinks it’s a dick move to punch someone while their on the ground.

WWII ended 65 years ago. It’s ok to relax a bit now, Germany.

Keep firing Assholes!

It’s always embarrassing to lose at your national sport.

The Germans are still pretty good at their national sport, but they just avoid international competition now.

Keep firing Assholes!

UFC banned because Phil Baroni reminds them too much of Germany at war.

That is wonderful...

They've clenched their sphincter's just a bit tighter

Ever since they watched the U.S. bring two Nukes to a sword fight.

Supposedly the nukes were intended for them, but the Russians beat ’em to it (Berlin, the nukes came later).

Oddly enough, this reminds me of an article in Nazi Germany claiming before one of the Joe Louis-Max Schmeling that in America they used 4 ounce gloves so as to facilitate eye gouging, and that Herman Goering would argue with his American prison guard over the second fight, claiming a kidney punch…
