Family Guy - the road to Germany.
Fox's cash cow, Family Guy continue to push the envelope and slap conservative Fox in the face. I find it hilarious that Fox's back up plans (you remember... Wanda at Large, that 80s show, Andy Richter controls the Universe, Cedric the Entertainer presents, Greg the bunny, Method &Red, Party Girl, The Pitts, Happy hour, Luis...) seemed to have all been a flop.
Fox Broadcasting Company was LUCKY to be able to get Family Guy back, after attempting to distinguish the popular sitcom back in 2005. Although the ratings will prove that they will not regret the choice, Seth MacFarlane is clearly determined to make Rupert Murdoch cringe at the site of the cartoon family.
The above episode is one of the lastest airred October 2008 with several references to the flawed American administration. Stewie and Brian steal the show in this episode and to that I say well done. They are my television spotlight for the week. Keep the cynicism coming, its Family Guy vs. America! Stewie Griffin or Die! Viva La Bebe!!!!!

I actually like family guy pushing the envelope in media. Its about time people wake up and see the world for what it truly is and get out this state of denial. People are discriminated against all the time but there are still some that dont believe that it is actually present in today's culture. Some of these episodes can go extremely too far but hey we as humans go even further sometimes.
Some people tend to believe that because these ideas and criticisms were expressed through the exaggerations of cartoons they are not serious expressions. Others beleive that the expressions are so exaggerated that they can not be true, nor should they be taken seriously. Often these views go overlooked, thus, they make it on the airwaves and don't cause an uproar rather it just provokes thought.
