Meh; anyone who's making too much noise about it is being put down for 'questioning the will of God' or something. We must remember that the majority of the American populance will do pretty much anything their government says if it conforms to their fundie values. But then again, there is a lot of noise being made in Japan...
See, that's the sad part. Isn't there anyone over there trying to work to change the situation - particularly the censorship regulations which have done far more to cripple the development of American film and television programming than anything else? At least here in Puerto Rico, we don't have to put up with the same type of issue (partly because of that brief period of US occupation - after all, a lot of American concepts, such as the right of free speech and assembly, are still practiced in Puerto Rico), which is probably we have a significant American expat community in Puerto Rico and in Cuba (though at least in Puerto Rico, we don't have to deal with the corruption problems that have plagued Cuba).
The funny thing about the idea of airing a novela on current affairs on a Cuban/Puerto Rican TV network is that since Cuba is only 90 miles away from Florida, if one boosts transmitter power on the Havana station enough, it would be possible to pick up a signal in, say, Miami, if not Key West. (One of the reasons why Cuba and Puerto Rico share some of the same TV networks, fortunately.) And the best thing about it - an episode can be produced and ready to go on the air in four days!
So yeah, we'll see how far this "noise" goes (since there is some outrage here in Puerto Rico over the situation as well, including the fundie churches here who have denounced the US).
