[Smells Like News] Who Still Likes Family Guy?
- South Park: In its famous "Cartoon Wars" episode, Cartman decides he hates Family Guy, hilarity ensues.
- Deborah Solomon: The NYT's stern question lady had a decidedly pissy interview with Seth Macfarlane last month. Sample Solomon questions: "Personally, I find the show's rape jokes especially unfunny...Why is that funny?...I would say Groening is a better colorist...Are you contemptuous of families?...Are you straight?" God, shut up, Deborah Solomon.
- Richard Lawson: Famous cultural critic who did not care for the show. He called it "crude, sloppy, shamelessly Simpsons-derivative non sequitur humor," which is relatively non-debatable, as insults go.
- Microsoft: Microsoft and their supercool ad agency Crispin Porter Bogusky were all signed up as sponsors for an upcoming prime time Family Guy special, but then somebody at Microsoft accidentally watched Family Guy, and, whoa! Microsoft can tolerate jokes about nerds, Apple, the blind, barely legal hoes, and Rwanda, but this show's "riffs on deaf people, the Holocaust, feminine hygiene and incest" were too much, according to Variety.
Remaining Family Guy Fans:
- Seth MacFarlane: That guy is so rich now. Filthy, unclean rich.
- News Corp. Executives: Family Guy makes money.
- Millions of 18-34 year old males: Their taste is America's taste!
