Was this a recent episode, or one from like a year ago? - JaxSean Feb 17, 07:42 1
- my tivo recorded it as new this week or last week - Max Feb 17, 07:49
that ranks in maybe the top 100 most offensive things Family Guy has done...if that. -- nm - Beaker Feb 17, 07:35
Family Guy stuff. -- nm - Sarah Palin's hand Feb 17, 07:16
I'm more surprised that she'd actually watch it... -- nm - znufrii Feb 17, 07:12 1
- doub't she did actually -- nm - Danedukenuuk Feb 17, 07:16
and thanks to Palin more people now want to see that episode given she made it a controversy - Danedukenuuk Feb 17, 07:02
These people (Palins, Glenn Becks, etc.) are the whiniest bunch of cry babies *ever*. -- nm - JaxSean Feb 17, 06:44 18
- On this particular issue, were people making fun of my mentally handicapped child, my vitriol would know no bounds. - TFox Feb 17, 06:49 14
  - But wait a second, TFox, it's satire! I believe I heard from someone with a name like "Farrah Malin" that that was OK. -- nm - Reagen Feb 17, 07:08 6
    - honestly, I hate the chick, but just because she's a hypocritical idiot doesn't make it ok. -- nm - loosilu Feb 17, 07:13 5
      - It also means I don't have to take her complaints seriously. But more to the point - would someone care to explain the insult? - Reagen Feb 17, 07:19 4
        
        I saw the episode and it's immediately apparent that it's not a mocking joke, but a message that handicapped people don't have to be treated coddled - Max Feb 17, 07:29 1
        
        oh hell. she really is a useless whiner. -- nm - loosilu Feb 17, 07:33
        
        Probably the kid talking is talking with a down syndrome ...um...lisp? - JaxSean Feb 17, 07:22 1
        
        The character literally had down syndrome. She was also quite a jerk. -- nm - Ender Feb 17, 07:31
  - It sounds like it was a jab at her and not the kid. - Fuzzy Feb 17, 07:03 1
    - That's how I perceived it too, but I haven't seen the episode either. -- nm - LMS Feb 17, 07:17
  - Sure, if she's consistent about it. But she doesn't care if Glen Beck uses it. -- nm - mara Feb 17, 06:56 1
    - This is true. I read a good opinion piece about this and forgot about it when I commented. You're absolutely right. -- nm - TFox Feb 17, 07:27
  - Hers doesn't either - Will Hunting Feb 17, 06:56 2
    - *makes SATIRICAL retard jokes with impunity* -- nm - Rush Feb 17, 07:17 1
      - It took you guys 9 minutes to do that though, and it could have been done in 3:30. -- nm - Reagen Feb 17, 07:51
- They have to be, because their audience wants to become more and more outraged. There's no incentive for anyone to break that cycle. -- nm - Roger More Feb 17, 06:48
- There's some delicious irony in their professional victimhood - TWuG Feb 17, 06:47 1

Family Guy not being funny may be the first issue which I agree with her. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Feb 17, 06:42 1
- Word. I've never found it funny. -- nm - Jim Feb 17, 07:42
She should run on this platform -- nm - Roger More Feb 17, 06:41
