Family Guy is an animated television program created by Seth MacFarlane and shown on the Fox television network. It documents the life of "the Griffins," a fictional family who live in Quahog, Rhode Island. The show, like The Simpsons and other cartoon shows on television, explores—from an extremely liberal angle—cultural and political themes that are important in the world today, as well as taking humorous approaches to past and present television shows.[1] It takes an unfavorable view of creationists, focusing instead on the theory of evolution.[2] Family Guy is known for its constant use of rude and profane speech, violent and crude humor, and liberal deceit.
One episode of Family Guy makes a crude attempt to connect the McCain-Palin ticket to Nazis. [3]
Another episode featured a repeated catchphrase "Laura Bush Killed A Guy!"[4] This was a misleading statement, tastelessly and pointlessly mocking a tragic car accident which occurred when she was 17 years old, and known as Laura Welch, and which killed boyfriend Michael Douglas (no relation).[5]
