So I watched the new Family Guy on Sunday and had a few laughs. I didn't think anything over the top had occurred. I was kind of surprised when the character, Chris, had to build up confidence to ask a girl out who had down syndrome. Then Stewie sang a song about down syndrome girls that was probably a little offensive if you're a sensitive person. My problem is why Sara Palin has to police the comedy thats on tv. Just shut up. If you don't like it, don't watch it. If they reference you, ignore it.

Quote:
JUNEAU, Alaska – Sarah Palin is lashing out at the portrayal of a character with Down syndrome on the Fox animated comedy "Family Guy."

In a Facebook posting headlined "Fox Hollywood — What a Disappointment," the 2008 Republican vice presidential nominee and current Fox News contributor said Sunday night's episode felt like "another kick in the gut." Palin's youngest son, Trig, has Down syndrome.

The episode features the character Chris falling for a girl with Down syndrome. On a date, he asks what her parents do.

She replies: "My dad's an accountant, and my mom is the former governor of Alaska."

Sarah just wants more attention! I watched the episode. It was funny!

Family Guy wasn't really that offensive as far as I'm concerned. They've gone way further over the line than that before.

But the American Dad episode was probably the funniest TV show I've ever seen in my entire life. It was epic from start to finish.

Phony--If you actually clicked on the link Dick posted, you'd know what Family Guy is. That's why we provide sources. See, you need to start finding things out for yourself & not just wait for someone else to tell you what to think. This is why you're so misinformed.

BTW, Family Guy is a troupe of thespians that perform all of the Greek tragedies...

Well, since my "forum friends" won't tell me who FAMILY GUY is, I googled it, and found that only typical LIBCHITS would find enjoyment out of watching freaking cartoons.....

I stopped watching cartoons after I was discharged from the service in 1955......

Cartoons are for childish minds.......

The quote that Dick posted at the start of the thread clearly states that Family Guy is an animated series on Fox. You may want to start reading the posts before commenting on them, Phony. Rolling Eyes

Phony--- if you don't want to read a post, don't comment on it. If you want to comment, read the post. How hard is that to understand. Jeez!

But reading LIBCHITISM is boring as hell, and I ain't spending my valuable time, reading racist, class warfare, bigotted liberal propoganda...
