Children should be off-limits. And Family Guy should pay the price for crossing the line.
I wish I watched the show so I could turn it off, but I never did find the funny in that show.
When you go into politics, for good or ill, NOTHING is off limits. That is the reality. Family Guy won't pay the price. I suspect the ratings will go up. Sarah will, and is paying the price, for appearing to humorless and thin skinned. That is the reality too.
Ar you saying family guy shouldn’t have any child characters? Or that they shouldn’t have any child characters with disabilities?
BTW, I realize that shows like South Park and Family Guy can be very offensive to people with disabilities, and people who have religious beliefs, as well as many other people. They exist partly to offend groups of people.
I just don’t see how this particular clip of a girl with Down’s is an attack on Trig, and it seems the only people who brought Trig into the Family Guy discussion are Palin and the others complaining about it.
Like I said elsewhere, what if they had had a girl without Down’s, but who was pregnant? Would that have been an attack on Bristol? What if the girl was older, and had just gotten back from Iraq. Would that be an attack on Track?
They made a stupid joke about the mother being the ‘ex-governor of alaska’. They clearly did it to get Palin to react, and I think Family Guy is quite happy with the response, and I think we’ve done nothing but build up their ratings, and validated the left’s penchant for punishing people with political correctness attacks.
Rush knew this, and I think he responded in an interesting way, supposedly supporting Palin, but yet ignoring her requests not to use the word, and in fact defending the use of the word “retarded” to label stupid liberals.
