I'm opposed to all censorship.  But I might fight a little less hard to keep Family Guy on the air.

I was hoping this would be a petition to get it off the air for being boring.

The funniest part about it is picturing the guy watching an episode and then turning to his computer and having to come up with the words to describe what he saw, like "Peter lies in bed with his rear exposed and moans in pleasure when a horse, which he assumes is his wife, licks his rear."

Rear is definitely in the class of words that Patton Oswalt described in his "clean" dirty being more dirty bit.

I'm A Moderately Funny Gay Guy, Here's My Story, I Can Sing A Little, Etc. is far and away the best potential title for a one man show in the history of theatre.

I'll file a complaint for it offending my senses, but that's as much as I care about.

We should make it!  Although I guess ethics dictate actually having to find a gay man for it.

We should add the subtitle: And My Mother's Jewish!
Oh, good heavens. I didn’t realize. I send my condolences out to the rest of the O’Connor family.

Give me a break.

... was also a great show!  Starring Nell Carter and Joey Lawrence, both of whom are no longer with us, though in different ways.
I really don't appreciate your sarcastic, anti-comedy tone, Bro!

Come on, Jason

Time for somebody to start shopping for a coffin.

(No, this is not a death threat.)

He didn't make it through the end of the run.  I thought a consummate professional like Dolph Sweet wouldn't want a mercy listing.

Regardless of opinion of Family Guy (I maintain that it has at least 1 funny moments per episode and is one of the few comedies willing to take a joke and just keep going with it), I hate that the FCC considers itself an arbiter of morality. While Obama's administration has been slightly disappointing when it comes to the law, I still hope they understand that these people wield far too much power and need to be shut down.
