Judging by the
entry in the journal Artemy Lebedev, published today, Roskomnadzor has surpassed itself. The staff of this excellent organization managed to find something vicious in the social video
Dumb Ways to Die , created by the order of the Australian Metro network. The purpose of the video is to convey the simplest, in general, sense of banal caution and prudence, not only in the subway, but in life in general. However, Roskomnadzor, of course, is not interested in such nonsense, and they clung to the lyrics of the song, which listed ways to get as stupid as possible to die, eating glue or an expired pie.
Here is a quote from their slander:
“The text of the song contains a description of various methods of suicide, for example: use medicines that have expired, stand on the edge of the platform, run through the rails between the platforms, eat a superglue tube and others. Cartoon characters demonstrate the described methods of suicide in a humorous format that is attractive to children and adolescents. Such lines of the song as “Hide in the clothes dryer”, “I wonder what this red button does?” Call for these actions. ”
The strangest thing in this situation is the sharpness of the firing of Roskomnadzor, which has only one unfortunate entry on its blacklist. The video is still available both on the
official website and on
YouTube , where it collected 40 million views. Moreover, I am sure it will be even more replicated after this incident. In my opinion, this is not even funny, but rather alarming. It's time to start the censorship hub for such things.

PS: Dude with glue is the best!
