Creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone release a statement on Twitter as China censors their show after an episode made fun of the country.

CENSORED. The creators of 'South Park' release a statement after the Chinese government censors their show in the mainland due to an episode making fun of the country. Screenshot from YouTube/South Park Studioshave issued a mock apology to China after censors scrubbed their popular animation from the Chinese web.

The episode — called"Band in China" — depicted forced labor at a Chinese prison, and parodied companies that cave-in to censorship for commercial gain. Both the league and the team have scrambled to apologize over the tweet by Rockets' general manager Daryl Morey, as calls for a boycott gather steam in one of the NBA's most lucrative markets.
