Family Guy Spoiler

Yes, it's a spoiler.

So, I'm moving this down a bit.

I know this is kind of pointless.

Because, if you follow Family Guy enough to know anything about it. . .

. . .Then you know what this spoiler is all about.

But just the same, I'm putting a little effort into not making it too obvious.

But I've got to ask you. . .

If you've read down this far already, and you still haven't been spoiled, and have no idea what this is about. . .

BUT, you do follow the show enough to be interested in what all the fuss is about. . .

Just how bad are your reasoning skills anyway?

Just kidding, here you go:

Brian Is Alive!

Just a few weeks ago, Family Guy fans were saddened when Brian Griffin got hit by a car and died. . .

FOX Dominates FCC Indecency Complaints

Alas, it is not FOX "News" but FOX-TV that has garnered the most outrage. The funniest part to me, is that idiots are calling the FCC--an agency that does not control cable content--to protest MSNBC's use of the term "teabagger." Idiots.

Fox Dominates Indecency Complaints

Members of the "tea party" don't like MSNBC's Rachel Maddow's use of the word "teabagging."

According to FCC records obtained and analyzed by SNL Kagan, viewers have filed 1,239 indecency complaints connected to the ambiguous phrase. The only thing more controversial was a rant delivered by CNN's Jack Cafferty against China on an April 2008 edition of "The Situation Room. . ."

Family Guy: Stewie Wants His Emmy!

Hilarious. . .

Family Guy's Seth MacFarlane on Olbermann

It's weird when favorite media figures from completely different spheres appear in one place. But that's what happened tonight on Countdown with Keith Olbermann. Seth MacFaralane, creator/writer/voice actor of Family Guy, American Dad! and the upcoming The Cleveland Show was on to talk about all of the strange utterances coming from the GOP these days. Samuel "Joe the Plumber" Wurzelbacher is featured for saying to a conservative crowd that they make him horny.

It's good stuff, and it's fun to watch Seth doing Stewie Griffin's voice. Enjoy.

Family Guy Excites Parents Television Council

It's a long way from FOX "News" to FOX TV.

The Parents Television Council (shouldn't there be an apostrophe in there somewhere?) is one of those fussbudget, up-in-your-business groups that exists solely to complain about things. It's actually surprising that they didn't work the word "family" into their name to better fit in with other complaining, hateful groups.

The PTC has set their whiny attention on FOX TV's Family Guy. This is a program that has pushed (and broken) the boundaries of taste for its entire history. But this weekend they got a little too gay for the PTC. And "teh gay" is a surefire way to get a group like this to pull out all stops.

Family Guy Gay Orgy Incites Parents' Ire

Fox's controversial Family Guy has angered parents again, this time with storylines concerning bestiality, gay orgies, and babies swallowing semen. . .

But the best part is creator/producer/voice actor Seth MacFarlane's response:

"Oh, yeah. 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 d**k as far as I’m concerned.”

Family Guy's Brian Endorses Barack Obama!

Gotta love those cartoon creations on FOX. They routinely bite the hand that feeds them. What, you didn't know that Rupert Murdoch and his vast empire (most prominently, FOX "News") favor John McCain? Then you haven't been paying attention.

Now, I suppose it's possible that this video is a bootleg, and that Seth MacFarlane isn't actually voicing Brian Griffin, the dog from Family Guy. But if it is an impersonated voice, it's very, very good. Enjoy.

Back in Vegas, Vacation is Over

Well, I'm back in Las Vegas, after a typically draining travel day. Other than a little turbulence, and the usual glacial pace of fellow travellers in front of me everywhere I went, the trip was unspectacular. As always, it leaves the body weary but oddly wide awake. So, hopefully, I'll be able to pop up a few posts before I go to bed.

The family visit was better than usual, with only minor family squabbles and frustrations. I have been trying to shy away from political confrontations with my (conservative) parents, but when I hear a bald Rush Limbaugh-ism, it is difficult to let it lie there, flopping on the ground. And try as I may to reel that sucker in, it always ended in a stalemate.

My sister's baby (whose first birthday was the primary reason for my visit) is adorable, giggly and downright black-heart melting. He's wearing a little helmet these days, to mold his noggin into shape, since he was born early and looked a little like Stewie Griffin for a while. But he loves the thing, which is a huge relief.

While I was away, gas prices soared to juuuussst under the $4.00 mark in Ohio. And Ohio's Secretary of State resigned due to a sex scandal. Otherwise, I've been in something of a news black hole. I did notice that Hillary Clinton is invigorated by a big win in West Virginia, even though it really doesn't change anything. Other than that, I'll be playing catch up here for the next day or so.

Profound thanks to Stupid Monkey Planet for subbing for me, and doing so with his usual style. I hope you enjoyed his contributions, and that he feels free to contribute any time.

More to come!
