How strong is his condemnation? Let count the number of times he condemns the network airing Seth MacFarlane's work by courageously spelling out their initials:
Now it's ABC's "Nightline" paying homage to "Family Guy," and in the process telling us a lot more about "Nightline" than about this stupid show.One.
But to ABC, this was a heartwarming story of a Connecticut boy who grew rich by never maturing past the seventh grade.Two.
The reporter for this segment, titled "Seriously Funny," was ABC's Bill Weir, last seen goofily hailing Barack Obama's inauguration as a day when "even the seagulls must have been awed."Three.
This is where ABC tossed aside any semblance of fairness in favor of a one-sided puff piece.Four.
Apparently, there is a line, at least when you're interviewed by ABC News: Don't insult the Kennedys.Five.
As for anything else, in ABC's eyes, it's "comedic genius."Six.
Instead, ABC allowed MacFarlane to make an unrebutted argument that the censors are arbitrary and ridiculous.Seven.
Just like Coke, ABC is defining MacFarlane's deviancy down, welcoming his radioactive TV waste into the "mainstream."Eight.
Oops, silly me, Seth MacFarlane's work airs on Fox. Let's count these surely equally angry condemnations once more:
Fox's "Comedic Genius"One.
Our cosmopolitan elites have embraced the smutty Fox cartoon "Family Guy."Two.
MacFarlane reportedly signed a $100-million contract with Fox and is now working on a third cesspool of a cartoon series.Three.
