Comparing Family guy to bambi is ridiculous.

Do you watch family guy?

The characters on family guy don't have personalities they have traits they need to exhibit for 15-30 seconds so a joke lands...

Def reading too much into this

EDIT: Also the PTC is a censorship organization that has stifled creative development in this country for far too long. If you think something is inappropriate don't watch it, don't think it is appropriate for your kids-BE A PARENT

Your reply is what's ridiculous.

Apparently "Family Guy" is a sacred cow of yours, but it's an evil show that portrays evil things, and it's central to the show to involve children in those evil things.

Edit: PTC isn't a "censorship organization." If it wasn't for people you call "censors" we'd already have videos like the alleged Podesta "Fatherhood" video on tv.

Please type out for me some of the sexual content involving the child characters on that show that you know of, right here, right now. If it's so innocent, you shouldn't have any trouble promoting it, being proud of it, and standing behind it.

I will watch a few minutes of South Park or Family Guy here and there, clinically, to have a more informed world view of what people are exposing themselves to. One scene on South Park had the teacher ask the sex ed. class which positions they were aware of. Five were named by different kids. Two I knew, and the other three I had to look up in the Urban Dictionary. They described unspeakable acts involving two people and excrement. I have seen things just as bad on Family Guy. I'm no prude, but the producers of these shows and those that run the government agencies that have deregulated TV/obscenity laws need serious prison time by my reckoning, for exposing impressionable minds to the worst things man can imagine.

These are adult television shows. For adults. If impressionable minds are watching these shows its because of poor parenting and it's really not the fault of the shows. Adult humor is fantastic and I would never want to see it taken off the air. You don't like your kids watching it then raise your fucking kids you loser. Don't try to take it away from everyone else just because you are a prude who doesn't take the time to know what their kids are watching.

The definition of a loser is someone justifying shows that openly allude to defecating in someone's mouth being shown to kids during the day on MTV or Much Music while the parents are off doing their own thing. Further, if you find that kind of humor fantastic, you have really bad taste. It's everyone's fault, the producers for making it, the networks for showing it, you for consuming it, and the rest of us for not marching on Hollywood and D.C. with pitchforks.

Lol. Weak minded people can't handle dark humor. To the extent that you think we should be killing people over dark humor. You are very weak minded.

On the contrary, real strength is knowing there are certain boundaries that should not be transgressed, in comedy, cartoons, books, movies, whatever, like the one I just described. Look man, I'm 51, and I've seen it all. My opinions have changed drastically over the years. Here's wisdom. It's far more difficult to write clean comedy, and those that can do it have great minds. Really dark humor is a cop out, a shortcut for the weak minded writer. Anyone can do it, just say or portray something so outrageous that the nervous shock response will be triggered in the listener/viewer. The mechanism that usually causes one to laugh at an outrageous joke is the subconscience telling you that you really should not be laughing, but rather heading for the door.
