Radar Slams MacFarlane And Family Guy

The show may have it's moments, but it's always been a weak rip-off:

Pity the poor executives at Fox. Imagine their unbearable dilemma when one of their highest rated cash cows—that would be Family Guy—snuffed out America's beloved Simpsons. That's what happened in a recent episode, when Quagmire, Family Guy's motormouthed sleazeball, got caught in a sexual tryst with Marge and then proceeded to shoot the whole Simpson family off camera.

"I think they pushed it too far," Simpsons creator Matt Groening said. "If our characters are going to be killed, we'll do it ourselves." Perhaps Groening spoke too soon. Even though the suits at Fox decided not to air the spiteful scene, their recent $100 million dollar deal with Family Guy creator Seth MacFarlane may give Groening some indication of where future loyalties lie.

...Maybe Family Guy's erstwhile fans are just aping the sneers of other cartoon scene titans. South Park's Trey Parker and Matt Stone have been taking swings at MacFarlane's work for years. "When people say to me, 'God, you guys have one of the best shows on television. You and Family Guy.' That fucking hurts so bad," lamented Stone back in 2005. "It's such a kick in the balls" agreed co-creator Trey Parker. They would argue that Family Guy hasn't gotten any worse; it's always been dreadful.

...This sophomoric glee for saying something naughty about Republicans is, after all, the entire gimmick behind MacFarlane's American Dad! As the New Yorker put it, watching a siege on American morality just "makes us restless now; the comedy is too broad. (The exclamation point in the title virtually announces that.)" Indeed, MacFarlane's tedious, second-rate send up for American establishment values has become more stale and didactic than subversive. Brian might as well be door-knocking for Kucinich.

...If MacFarlane and his scribes had kept their trashy humor as pure as their political posturing this might all be easier to swallow. But they didn't. Both American Dad! and Family Guy try to straddle the line between outlandish farty humor and subversive social commentary. Over the years the uneasy balance has caused Team MacFarlane to wobble and flop. His raunchy prime time rivals, Matt Stone and Trey Parker of South Park, describe this flailing balancing act as just "getting too up your ass preachy."

...You used to able to flip on Family Guy and witness the worm's eye view of things; racism, raunch, and flatulence that needed to be aired out every once and again. Watching Family Guy was like witnessing a harmless rebellion against righteousness. Now it's merely a showcase for MacFarlane's cultural finger wagging and lethargy.

On Communist Cartoons

From Gawker:

When the godless Reds in the Soviet Union wanted to entertain their young, they got their cartoons like they got everything else—they stole it! The following is a clip from a Soviet Era cartoon called, "Vinnie the Puh." And it's pure Red Menace indoctrination from start to finish. You want to rise high and claim some precious honey for yourself, little Comrade? Nyet! Stay in your place!

Today's Godtube Moment

Another one about the Rapture, but this time with a delightful animated twist.

What Happens If You Think They're Both Douchebags?

Osama bin Laden dropped his new single yesterday. I'll save you some time: "Death to America...blah blah blah...cartoons hurt my feelings....boohoo...Europe is sooooo on my shitlist."

The interesting part of the tape was when he calls out def-not-a-nazi-Pope:

Osama bin Laden accused Pope Benedict XVI of helping in a "new Crusade" against Islam and warned of a "severe" reaction to European publications of cartoons of the Prophet Muhammad that insulted many Muslims.Bin Laden's audiotape message Wednesday raised concerns al-Qaida was plotting new attacks in Europe.

...The Vatican spokesman, the Rev. Federico Lombardi, said bin Laden's accusation that the pope has played a role in a worldwide campaign against Islam is "baseless." Lombardi said the pope has repeatedly criticized the cartoons, first published in some European newspapers in 2006 and republished by Danish papers in February.

...Benedict angered many in the Muslim world in 2006, when he cited a medieval text that characterized some of the teachings of the Prophet Muhammad as "evil and inhuman," particularly "his command to spread by the sword the faith."The pope later said he was "deeply sorry" and stressed the remarks did not reflect his own opinions. He has since led a public campaign for dialogue with Muslims.

Nazi Pope responded by calling OBL an unkempt slut and then returned to a long day's work of covering up for his kid-fucking friends.

CBS Evening News Tries to Court Toddlers

Here's Katie Couric and friends trying to explain superdelegates with shitty cartoon-like illustrations, with even shittier Tim Burton-esque music playing in the background.

The cartoon shows a wizard controlling the electoral process, proving that Democrats are heathen Satanists.
