Controversy

Kebekus at the German Television Award 2012

In February 2013, the show today broadcast a satirical film with which Kebekus applied to Cardinal Joachim Meisner as Popess . According to the Spiegel , a spokesman for the German Bishops' Conference is said to have tried in vain to prevent the episode from being broadcast. In June 2013, the WDR decided against the broadcast of the satirical music video produced by Kebekus, Dunk the Lord in Kebekus! at Einsfestival. In the video in which she appears in a nun's costume and licks a crucifix, Kebekus wrote in the form of a rap, among other things: “He's my bank, only for him I pull bare” and “By God punk goes off because only he has the funk; Jesus is the shit and if you don't believe it, you poop. ”There were also allusions to sexual abuse in the Catholic Church . Stefan Raab recommended Kebekus to complain to the future WDR director Tom Buhrow and to insist on artistic freedom after she described her show as “mutilated”: “Of course, it had been removed for about three weeks, and now WDR has noticed : 'We don't want to be that young either' ”. It will probably be the last broadcast.

Regarding the accusation of censorship, which Kebekus totally raised on TV , and the accusation of self-censorship , which, according to Tagesspiegel, was raised by employees of the show, the WDR said he could "not accept this". The station stands for liberality and tolerance, which means that religious beliefs of the population have to be respected. After an editorial discussion and legal review, the program managers decided not to broadcast the video: "There is a considerable difference between criticizing the church as an institution and denigrating religious symbols", regardless of whether a program is aimed at a younger or older audience . A future cooperation with Kebekus will show - “our doors will remain open anyway.” In connection with the video, due to a call by the Pius Brotherhood, around 100 complaints were received against Kebekus. The public prosecutor's office in Cologne checked whether the contribution complied with the offense of insulting denominations, religious societies and ideological associations (Section 166 StGB), found no criminal action and stopped the investigation. The satirically exaggerated representation has no insulting character, but a content critical of the church .
