Another Reason to Love 'Family Guy'

The Parents Television Council is filing an indecency complaint with the Federal Communications Commission against Fox's "Family Guy". They took issue with last week’s episode. The PTC are not known for enjoying low brow comedy, or anything funny for that matter. I thought the episode was hilarious, but not funnier than PTC’s press release.

"Fox treated viewers to everything from an ‘eleven-way’ gay orgy to baby Stewie eating a bowl of cereal with horse sperm instead of milk ... if that isn’t enough, the show’s leading character is also shown fanaticizing about his wife and moaning while a horse licks his bare behind. Clearly, the explicit content was not isolated to one instance in one segment of the show; it permeated the entire program."

The PTC is notoriously homophobic, which is why “Family Guy” creator, Seth McFarland’s response is so great.

“That’s like getting hate mail from Hitler. They’re literally terrible human beings. I’ve read their newsletter, I’ve visited their website, and they’re just rotten to the core. For an organization that prides itself on Christian values—I mean, I’m an atheist, so what do I know?—they spend their entire day hating people. They can all suck my dick as far as I’m concerned.”
