I agree with you, that any form of censorship is in principle a bad thing. No matter whether it's acted out by a government agency or a TV-Station.
Yet, taking german history into account, banning "Mein Kampf" from being sold in Germany is absolutely understandable. Besides, who is interested in the rantings of an austrian painter, anyway? I read excerpts from "Mein Kampf" in High School, and it's simply ridiculous.
The rest of the time, free speech is held in as high regard in Germany as it is in any other western democracy...
But we're definitely losing track of South Park here :-)
