    Funny how Fox News seems to be the only ones upset over a cartoon.

    Though, I doubt if it were Family Guy doing a bit about a Obama family ruin where Saddam shows up uninvited, drunk and pissed off because Bill Ayers forgot to send an invite, I doubt there'd be such an uproar.

    LOL at the last paragraph.

    The Fox sitcom was cancelled in 2002 after failing to find an audience, but has improved significantly in the ratings since being brought back to the network in 2005. The show centers on a dysfunctional family living in the fictional town of Quahog, Rhode Island.
    Could the taste in FOXnews' mouth be any sour?

    You know what I always get bummed about?

    FoxNews.com not allowing comments on their website for each story.

    I'd be mightily entertained reading those.

    ''The animated sitcom 'Family Guy' is no stranger to controversy, but on Sunday night the show went into uncharted territory as it seemed to weigh in on the presidential race by likening the McCain/Palin ticket to the Nazi party in World War II.''

    When has family guy ever been controversial? This show blows

    how odd a cartoon created by a devout atheist pokes fun at a conservative that clings to God.

    Who would've known.

    BTW, FoxNews website blows balls. You'd think they could afford a better server. So ing slow.

    EDITED: Christ, it gets worse! I have to refresh the page every time I scroll (up or down). It reads fine until I actually, you know, move the damn story.

    Wait so when FauxNews pissed their pants about Obama supporters being upset about references to Obama and "pallin around with a terrorist", they were just being disingenuous? Now that someone who has the right to free speech makes fun of McCain/Palin in a very over the top manner, they're upset? Nawww, can't be.

    They're not upset. Controversy creates ratings... Fox is just trying to give Family Guy a little boost through reverse psychology.

    BTW, speaking of Fox News, I'm guessing the higher ups are praying for an Obama victory. 24/7 coverage of "Obama's Follies" for the next 4 to 8 years will get a very healthy amount of ratings. Especially among those who actually think Obama is a terrorist.

    They weren't. They were comparing their supporters to Nazis.
