    Funny how they suggest that it shows subtle homosexuality, but it only says "unprotected sex". Unprotected sex could suggest heterosexual sex as well, but they jumped to a different conclusion. I also don't see how the song is making fun of AIDS, when they're just trying to present it in a lighter, less You're-going-to-die-esque fashion.

    Why did they target this instead of the Terminally Ill Children Stand-Up Routine?

      The Fox TV network and its animated comedy series Family Guy apparently think AIDS is a laughing matter.
      They have made fun of people being black.

      Isn't being black a laughing matter?

      im kidding duh

          You know, Benji, AIDS isn't the only thing of which one can die.

          If thirty-nine million of those afflicted were all hit by cars, they wouldn't be saying what they did.

                  Yet they don't say a word about Team America, wherein they sing a song about AIDS. Hypocrites.

                    What? That AIDS song had absolutely nothing to do with making light of AIDS. They're completely missing the point.

                    Anyways, it's been 22.3 years since AIDS's discovery, so it is now funny.

                      I think the whole point of that joke was to pick something serious and touchy and sing a ridiculous song about it...

                          Why would people watch Family Guy not expecting to get offended?
                          I watched clouds awobbly from the floor o' that kayak. Souls cross ages like clouds cross skies, an' tho' a cloud's shape nor hue nor size don't stay the same, it's still a cloud an' so is a soul. Who can say where the cloud's blowed from or who the soul'll be 'morrow? Only Sonmi the east an' the west an' the compass an' the atlas, yay, only the atlas o' clouds.

                            Family Guy makes fun of everything. Religion, drugs ( If you've seen the toad episode ), Skin Color, and everything else.
