Apparently its now insipid, sophomoric, and crude.
Way to go guys!
McFarlane, the Family Guy creator, is a perfect example of the idea that liberals are the real bigots. Not only because of this but because he tends to make race jokes that would make Archie Bunker blush.
Do you really think this guy has balls?
Are you serious?
Did you not see the episode with “Omar” the kid in the spelling bee that is asked terrorist based words?
“Omar, your word is suicide bomber”
Don’t be an asshat and play the victim
Again, did you see the episode with Omar and the spelling bee?
Stop talking out of your ass
I'm not watching the show any more. This is as good an excuse as any.
Wow, one joke, you got me there. I can think of two entire episodes off the top of my head: 1) Meg converts to Christianity and is talked out of it at the end by a mushy-headed speech by Brian. Lesson: There is nothing different about Christianity—it’s all in your head. 2) Stewie goes to an alternate reality where Christianity never existed. Everything is super advanced and everyone is perfectly content. Lesson: Christianity causes the world’s problems.
But you can think of a single joke about a spelling bee. Man, you win, asshat.
That entire episode was about Omar the Lebaneese terorist
Peter thought Omar’s father was a terrorist ready to blow up the shopping mall when it turned out he was just an engineer hired to demolish the shopping mall
Omar’s friend was named “Bashir Bin Ladin”
So no, its not one joke, but an entire episode to equating Muslims with terrorism. And it was quite funny too
So don’t spout off on something when you are clearly ignorant about it. Don’t be a liberal and start whining about things “but that group over there wasn’t made fun of boo hoo”
Thats what I expect to read on DU, not here on FR
No, Omar was the Lebanese terrorist with the friend named “Bashir Bin Laden”
Its one of the funnier episodes I have seen
(Note: I'm not denying the possibility, nay probability, that Family Guy would insult Sarah or Trig... I just fail to see it in any of the descriptions of the episode. I think the real joke is on those who are a bit hyper-sensitive where Sarah is concerned. I admire her, and want her to be elected in 2012... but that doesn't mean that there is magically an insult here.)
“...What kind of person attacks a mentally disabled infant?...”
“...an ethically disabled adult...”
Oh, come on, Enchante, you can do better than that.
I prefer to call that type of creature a low life piece of s$#t.
How long do you think those two freaks would last with Todd Palin in a foul mood?
So no, its not one joke, but an entire episode to equating Muslims with terrorism.
So the lesson learned from this episode is....what? Muslims are generally good people and we shouldn't knee-jerk react that they're terrorists? Would you say that was the theme of that episode?
The theme of the episode is there are some hilarious Muslim jokes to be made
Relax man, the world isn’t out to get you.
Its only out to get liberals, communists and union members :)
But that's just me.
Again what?
I don't remember talking to you about Islamic terrorists or Family Guy at any time before.
Back on point, I never saw any episode about “Omar”, whoever the heck he is, because I stopped watching Family Guy long ago, because it was too vulgar and obscene. I made my statement because the Hollyweirdos almost always take pot shots at Christians, while tiptoeing around the far more insidious Islamic crazies
As for this episode you are talking about, did they specifically come out and insult or ridicule the prophet Mohammed(which was what I asked in my post), like the far braver Dutch cartoonist did?
I doubt it.
You gotta be kidding.
You are spinning so hard, it's a wonder you haven't spun right off the face of the planet.
Remind me again why we cannot compare these people to NAZIs?
Uh-huh. Look, I can take a joke, even one at my expense, even one at the expense of my beliefs. I don’t take myself that seriously. However when I have some obviously leftist clown thoroughly insulting me and then telling me that he makes fun of everyone, when that is in fact not true—it pisses me off.
You want to insult me? You want to talk $#-+ about me? Fine, do it. But do it to my face and be honest that you’re doing it. And if you really want to be “edgy” don’t go after the same tired B.S. Make fun of the pedophilia inherent in Islam. There’s a wealth of jokes right there (say with Herbert converting to Islam and trying to get Chris to convert so he can finally get some action).
Make fun of how hypersensitive they are about anything said/shown of Mohammed. “South Park” already did it, but why not add to it? I’ve fought those POSes. I’ve seen how they live. Their entire culture is a joke.
Christianity has done so much for this world, it’s ludicrous to think otherwise (and, no, I don’t think he’s just joking).
But I’m supposed to lay down and take it b/c Seth McFarlane says I should. Because some fans of his say I should. I don’t think so.
You made an assertion... now back it up!!
