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.
Nothing to see here.

While true, I still was stunned....Tough for me to be shocked by something, but it was bad.
Hitler was an evil man, so perhaps he is worthy of being mocked and made fun of on a national stage. But what crimes did Terri Schiavo commit? No, this is nothing that can be made fun of - if you have a soul. I know that many people here (I'm not one of them) watch Family Guy, which is why there is tolerance for this type of "humor". Hey, next they'll be making fun of one of your children's deaths! Hilarious, right? If they make it personal, it might possibly offend YOU. But if it's not a member of your family, hey, then it's OK.
True, but “Springtime” was at least satire...I’m not so sure about “Family Guy” these days.
“The Producers” ridiculed Adolf Hitler. These ghouls are ridiculing an innocent woman’s death and her family’s pain.
Being offended by nothing isn’t a sign of toughness. It’s a sign a callous indifference.
