What a class act /sarc.

At least when South Park addressed the issue, they were more tasteful about it.

I’m beyond being offended by Family Guy. This is the equivalent of “Springtime for Hitler” in The Producers — it is self-consciously, intentionally, and conspicuously offensive. When the purpose of the joke is to offend, then to be offended is to fall prey.

If you’re up-in-arms about anything on that show, you’re playing right into the hands of the writers. They’re playing up your emotional reaction for attention and laughs. It is the televised equivalent of internet trolling — wherein any emotional reaction from a viewer, including laughs or outrage, is a win for the writer.

Move on. Nothing to see here.

This reinforces my desire to never bother watching prime time TV.

Thank you for watching this crap so that we do not have to.

Family Guy, just like The Simpsons got old for us eons ago. I'm too apathetic to really take offense at what they do. I simply choose not to watch it.

I said it before. “Family Guy” thinks it is oh-so-hip in its dark humor. But it’s only using that as a front to hide what is basically a cheap, bullying mindset that is directed ONLY at easy targets. The show is the cultural equivalent of pushing a blind person down a flight of stairs. Real cowardly stuff.

Trey & Matt have a good sense of humor, and their outrageousness is funny because they use irony brilliantly. Seth, on the other hand, seems to think simply being outrageous in cartoon form is humor; very poor sense of it.

I stopped watching "Family Guy" a long time ago, when it became clear that it was turning into a weekly bashing of conservatives.
