Nathan Fielder's new HBO series, The Rehearsal, is a satire of corporate culture.
In the latest episode of the series, he satirizes the way corporations try to link their products to charitable causes.
The episode was removed from Paramount+ in late 2023 due to the streaming service’s stated discomfort with “anything that touches on anti-Semitism in the aftermath of the Israel / Hamas attacks.

Summit Ice still promises that 100 percent of the proceeds will go to Holocaust education.
But the next text admits that the proceeds might be “slightly less” than they were.
