'Family Guy' crossed the line
"Family Guy" has to be one of the most repulsive shows on television. Foul language, sexual comments and the occasional mockery of Christianity are the norm in this lewd program. The February 14th episode crossed the line when they mocked special needs children. This program airs on Sunday nights at 8:30 p.m. EDT/ 7:30 p.m. central on Fox.
This vile and vulgar show not only mocked Down syndrome, but portrayed the child with a disability as her dad being an accountant and her mom the former governor of Alaska. Sarah Palin's youngest child, Trig, has Down syndrome and this episode made a comparison which Palin said felt "like another kick in the gut."
Rather than going into details as to how she felt, Palin posted her 19-year-old daughter, Bristol's response to the controversy, saying it was "a much more restrained and gracious statement than I want to make."
Bristol wrote: "Are there any limits to what some people will do or say in regards to my little brother or others in the special needs community? If the writers of a particularly pathetic cartoon show thought they were being clever in mocking my brother and my family yesterday [Sunday], they failed. All they proved is that theyre heartless jerks."
