Thought all you Family Guy fans might be interested in this article.

Obviously they didnt see that one South Park episode...

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?

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.

Pumble · 08-27-2005, 08:14 AM

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?

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