Family Guy's Back In Hot Water With The FCC

Filed under: TV News

Bestiality, orgies and babies eating sperm, oh my!

The Parents Television Council is the latest group on the Family Guy's balls, complaining to the FCC that the March 8th episode of the racy cartoon was too explicit for television!

"Fox treated viewers to everything from an ‘eleven-way’ gay orgy to baby Stewie eating a bowl of cereal with horse sperm instead of milk … if that isn’t enough, the show’s leading character is also shown fanaticizing about his wife and moaning while a horse licks his bare behind. Clearly, the explicit content was not isolated to one instance in one segment of the show; it permeated the entire program."

The PTC is making the extra effort to corral all 1.3 million of its members into filing indecency complaints with the FCC over the crude ep.

What a waste of energy!

Family Guy creator Seth McFarlane had some choice words for the fundamentalist group last year when the PTC had previously targeted his toon.

"Oh, yeah. That’s like getting hate mail from Hitler. They’re literally terrible human beings. I’ve read their newsletter, I’ve visited their website, and they’re just rotten to the core. For an organization that prides itself on Christian values — I mean, I’m an atheist, so what do I know? — they spend their entire day hating people. They can all suck my d**k as far as I’m concerned."

We're glad you said it so we didn't have to!!

But we'll say it anyways - The Parents Television Council can suck our dick!!!!

      hahahahaha! That was hilarious.



    2. 202

      oh come on, that's nothing!



    3. 203

      Family Guy is not meant for kids anyway so the PTC can just go ahead and suck it for an extended period of time.

      FG Rocks!! Seth is hot, btw.

      Re: 80s_Chick

      I'm sure your children will develop (or have developed) quite a vivid vocabulary and opinions with the way you talk and think. And trust me, even if you "try" your best not to say something in front of your kids that are bad, they learn how to say curse words from their family first. Not the tv.

      And also, are you sure that you are not a little kid? All you can do is blurt out an insult, a bad word followed by bad grammar, and then there's the way you think, which is quite childish.

      Also, Family Guy does not come on at noon or 2 o'clock in the afternoon, so if you allow your kids to stay up past 10 o'clock on a school night to watch something with a mature rating, then that's your own fault. Your kids should be in bed by 9 anyway.



    5. 205

      Here's a simple way to solve the problem:
      If you don't like the show, find something else to watch.

      Assholes.

      i love family guy!
      fuck off parents
      go seth :)

      If you don't like it then CHANGE the fucking channel!!!



    9. 209

      I think the point that everyone for the PTC's complaints are missing is plain and simple: one group of people should not EVER decide what is right for every body– no matter if the collateral is children, money, religion, whatever. This is one of our nation's founding principles; democracy is based on collective agreement, not one group demanding that they get what they want.

      Moreover, it's not for one group to say, "but what if someone doesn't know this show is bad for kids?" What if someone doesn't know chocolate makes you fat? Should we sue the candy companies? It's like suing McDonald's for hot coffee– stupid, preventative, and a waste of our time. TV is for everyone, even kids, and if the TV show displays the appropriate warning according to the agree rules, no one is at fault but the parent who isn't paying attention to their child.



    10. 210

      I babysit three children regularly while their mother works a night job. Since they are all under the age of 10, I make sure to switch the parental controls on my TV– problem solved! Oh, and I'm also, at the most, one room away, so I know what they're up to (you do that, right? while you're blogging on Perezhilton?). Why make a dumb legal issue over something that's so trivial?

      What makes me so angry about this situation is that it DOESN'T MATTER. FG is a TV show– a TV show that can be blocked by attentive parents– and our country is facing more important issues. The PTC may as well be paid off by the government to make people focus on things less important than the state of our nation and economy.



    11. 211

      Example:

      It's just a TV show idiots.



    12. 212

      FAMILY GUY ROCKS!
      And we all know that family guy is not a cartoon for kids
      the show is aired at around 8:30-10:00 PM for a reason!
      even kids won't understand the yokes! So why they'd watch the show.
      besides who let their kids watch tv at that time!
      Besides I'VE NEVER LAUGH THAT HARD BEFORE WATCHING THAT EPISODE!!!!!!!!!!!



    13. 213

      I love family guy, I think it's hilarious if you don't want your children to be exposed to themes like they have on family guy dont let them watch it! its as simple as that. i think the PTC needs to stop watching tv to purely find something to bitch about. No ones entertainment should be comprimised because of these douches! i dont like greys anatomy but im not writing a letter complaining about it so they should stop complaining about shows i like, it's not fair.



    14. 214

      For all those people that bitch about this cartoon being too vulgar - I have an idea for you - maybe you could just not watch it! Maybe be an active parent and be involved with your kids instead of letting them waste away in front of the telie. Why should some fundamental christian freaks think that they have the right to take away other people's constitutional rights? It really irritates me because I thought that all these righties really identified with the old pedophile on family guy . . . religion is stupid and american is still way too protistant!!!

      Re: 80s_Chick – Girl!
      Chill! It's just a freaking cartoon show
      FICTIONAL!!!!!!!
      meaning not real!
      Have you seen a 12 months old baby talking like that or a dog???????
      If you have… you need to go see a therapist!
      The show it's for adults and around that time kids Should be in bed
      because next day is monday=School!
      You can put it anyway you want to:
      My mom for instance:
      she doesn't speak english! not a bit! but she knows the type of show it is and she have the common sense to not let my younger brother watch certains channel/shows or Tv because of the time!
      The key words: COMMON SENSE!!!
      If you don't want your kid to watch FG just change channel:
      Cartoon Network, Nickelodeon Disney, Discovery kids!!!
      and speaking of cartoon network:
      cartoon network is a kids channel but after 10:00 PM Is Adult Swim, That's a key to the parents to turn off the tv because at that time kids shouldn't be watching tv
      hence the word ADULT
      Well i can continue forever but you have to chill!
      you're getting all worked up over NOTHING!
      Family Guy Rocks!



    17. 217

      Ok so FIRST of all, he said SOME of the bottles were horse sperm, so stewie may have had the one with regular milk in it, we dont know, SECOND, the horse was only licking his ass CHEEK. Ive seen tons of shows where someone mistakes an animal for a person and enjoys it for a sec then realizes its not a person and freaks out, ha ha, tons of laughs, not offensive. I dont know if anyones ever been to Japan or espescially Hungary where at 10pm the travel channel instantly flips to hardcore porn on BROADCAST TV. The rest of the world allows just about anything on TV and they seem to get along fine. Quit bustin Family Guys balls, its not like its unexpected, dont watch the damn show if your squeemish. duh. Thats all i have to say about that. Rock on Seth and the people at Family Guy!



    18. 218

      seriously the fcc is a fucking joke.
      stupid teen shows like gossip girl can show people half naked having sex
      but a little comedy in cartoons -come'on now.
      family guy is fucking A! =D



    19. 219

      I'm a 27-year old educated female.

      I'm a Christian also.

      And I think Family Guy fucking rules.

      I saw this episode and laughed. Maybe I have a sick sense of humour but that's what you HAVE To have to like family guy.

      I understand parents in general don't want their kids watching the show - I wouldnt let mine watch it till they were 16.

      But it's up to ME to enforce that.

      If you don't like the show, don't watch it and don't let your kids watch it.

      The "Christian" association (which BTW I don't think has much to do with God) should have no say in it.

      After all, there are worse things out there corrupting children. I hardly think an ADULT CARTOON is to blame.

      Some people just need to stop blaming scapegoats for society's downfall.



    20. 220

      I love TFG! I saw that episode about the horse — I nearly shot the coca-cola out of my nose. I'm liberal and I am a huge fan of Seth MacFarlane's works. TFG is simply genius and fabulous!

      The show basically ridiculed our societal behaviors from day one. It is freaking hysterical and brilliant. I expect this show to run its course for the rest of my life or I'll go insane.

      Seth, if you're reading this stuff — screw PTC. They can suck our dicks for all we care!

      R-



    21. 221

      Too fuckin funny!



    22. 222

      Wow. Who's worse:
      A.) A charismatic, bitter politician who brought about radical change in his country's government, invaded other countries, executed six million people for their religion and another four million because of their sexual orientations, their heritage, or any physical or mental "defects" they might have had, or
      B.) A group of people who don't appreciate the fact that a television show that is shown at a fairly early night-time hour was more disgusting than usual.
      Oh, definitely B., Seth. Definitely.
      I'm really conservative AND own all the Family Guy DVDs. It's not as funny as it used to be, and while I did laugh a few times at this episode, it was pretty gross at times.



    23. 223

      this whole parental guide line think is utter bullshyt (mind my language) family guy is a great show and ive yet to see any complaints against SNL (in which they have the cartoon "the Ambiguously Gay Duo" and show Sexual innuendo) and South Park (who continuously keep their show vulgar, and its HILARIOUS) as well as other shows. ITS the PARENTS responsibility on what their children watch and what they dont watch. I got every season of their show as well as their short movies. and all this offensive and vulgar talk please…..PLEASE get serious. there have been shows and cartoon since before even my grandmother was born that have been the same way and no one says a thing. Seth Mcfarland is a COMIC GENIUS and he's going to keep coming up with shows just to piss these dumbasses off…..So GO SETH GO…..he is the shy!!!! ha ha PTC



    24. 224

      FG isnt as good as it used to be.



    25. 225

      have some humor. prudes!



    26. 226

      oh my that is dumb,
      Family Guy rules!
      if u have a problem with it, don't watch it !
      :)



    27. 227

      Right on!
      LMAO



    28. 228

      I think Seth has it right. If the PTC has the right to shove their religious views down everyone else's throats, then they have no right to complain when other people to do the same. Hypocritical douches. You have to CHOSE to watch Family Guy. Chances are , anyone that CHOSES to wach Family Guy, isn't going ot be someone that sees eye to eye with their group ANYWAY. Whip it out for them Seth! Show them what a man with REAL balls looks like!



    29. 229

      Although I agree that the fcc should suck turds, this show should suck fcc turds for being so crappy



    30. 230

      Maybe the "parents" that the "Parents Television Council" claims to speak for could do something drastic, like PAY ATTENTION TO WHAT THEIR KIDS WATCH ON TV, instead of expecting the networks and other people to assume the parents' responsibilities.



    31. 231

      So what….do they think it's going to inspire kids to have sex with animals?? Or eat bowls of sperm? How exactly is this going to effect their lives?



    32. 232

      I think it was one of the funniest Family Guy episodes in a lonnnnng time!

      man oh man is this country going to hell quick or what. If you DON'T like it, DON'T listen to it or watch it. If you're a parent, here's a novel idea…..START PARENTING AND QUIT POINTING THE FINGERS AT OTHERS!! If you don't want your kids to watch it, then DON'T let them watch it, don't tell other people to do your parenting job and take it off the air because you are an irresponsible jackass.

      LOL. LOVE THAT EPISODE. it was so funny. PURE GENIUS!



    38. 238

      Althought I LOVE Family Guy, I must say, it definitely is not for children. That said, the douchebags that are spending more time writing letters to the FCC about things they find offensive, COULD be actually making a difference in their own child's life by spending time WITH them that doesn't require them to breath in noxious fumes from the highway they have them out by in front of the Women's Clinic trying to terrorize young women out of having abortions. You KNOW it's the same losers writing the letters that are hanging out in lawn chairs every day at the All Women's Clinic with poorly made signs featuring dead babies. JMO.



    39. 239

      yes it is shocking at times but it's FUNNY!



    40. 240

      hey if my 84 year old granpa love Family Guy- which he insists that its called "Man of the House" but whatever-than everyone should love it. if you dont think the message they send is appropriate than turn the channel-christians should know that thats what god made remote controls for duh!!!!



    41. 241

      Why are they so up in arms? Are these religious nut jobs letting their children watch family guy? It has a TV 14 viewing label on it, and hey, guess what? You can program your TV to not allow anything you deem "offensive" to be viewed! Takes a fucking brain, dipshits!



    42. 242

      Thank you Seth, you took the words right out of my mouth! The crude content is the point of the show duhhh! And if the parents are so concerned dont let your bratty kids watch the damn show! And as far as I'm concerned, these angry housewives need to get a hobby, sitting around all day bitching about what's on the TV is a littleeeeee pathetic.



    43. 243

      You go Seth!



    44. 244

      If you don't like it, TURN IT OFF…simple.



    45. 245

      I watched this episode the other night and I criiiied when I saw the wonky-eyed horse in that dining room. Stewie getting the sugar eaten of this head just had me breathless.
      Now I see the PTC complained about it. What? Come on! I might not laugh at the same things you do but please…
      If this makes my mental age 12 years - fine. The PTC and you Texas mom must have an average of 450 each. Bet all your children dare to laugh at is the church ministers tales and lame jokes. Good luck to your kids in the future!

    50. 250

      Suck my dick too FCC. The show never claims to be decent or "christian" or whatever the fuck those d-nozzles claim to be. You know it's "racy," you know it's "explicit," so here's a tip from the jar of life, if you don't like it, DON'T WATCH IT. It makes me so angry, hey let's complain about how this is inappropriate for our "christian" children to watch, even though we're letting the kids watch it in the first place, when we know it's bad. Straight Fuckers.



    51. 251

      ROTFLMAO!!!! Seth McFarlane already knows……….
      It's the plan situation
      There's No Negotiation

      ROTFLMAO!!!!!



    52. 252

      Family Guy is awsome. It is soooo hilarious!



    53. 253

      This show is fucking awesome!!! It's for adults not young kids or teens. If you dont like it change the fucking channel!



    54. 254

      It's just a cartoon.



    55. 255

      FUCK the FCC, family guy is the shit, I love it! If parents don't want their fucking kids watching it, then they should ban it from their tv's. NOT OURS!

      Re: 80s_Chick

      WTF ARE YOU DOING ON PEREZ HILTONS SITE? GET THE FUCK OUT! I WOULD HATE TO BE YOUR FUCKING KID.



    60. 260

      I'm totally with Seth McFarlane. If the PTC is so worried about what their kids are watching, how about they monitor them more closely? They're the parents. Plus, why would you let your kid watch Family Guy. Just because it's a cartoon does not automatically make it for kids. Ridiculous. I thought the episode was hilarious! Keep on rocking Seth, I'll keep watching.



    61. 261

      fuck Parent's Television Council. that was one of the funniest episodes ever. if you don't like it, change the channel and quit trying to tell the rest of us what constitutes "good" television.

      You old piece of shit. Im 18 and this is what the new generation likes. If you dont like it then shut the fuck up and go fuck yourself with a broom handle.
      I dont have kids, my body is banging, im not in debt, I live off of my parents money, I dont have a fucking brat calling me money, ive got a sexy ass boyfriend who fucks me every night, I get to do drugs everyday.
      Yeah be jealous.



    63. 263

      Funny as hell-Seth keep on truckin!



    64. 264

      see, this shit pisses me off. if you dont like the goddamn show, then don't watch it. if you're all christian about it, then dont buy a television. these are the same people who said spongebob is evil because he's "gay". it has a tv rating for a REASON.



    65. 265

      are you kidding me? Family guy is one of the funniest shows out there. The FCC need a sense of humor or to pull the dick out of there asses



    66. 266

      i like family guy. and sure, it is vulgar. that's why parents need to watch what they let their children watch on tv.



    67. 267

      yes it gets sick at times but in case u haven't notice it pretty much a sick world,seth is right and a real hero even if he doesn't want to be

      Seth MacFartface is just a figurehead that oversees the creations of his talented writers, THOUGH he has ultimate control over every single peep that comes from that show. This episode is LAME compared to the "Hitler" episode that ruined it for me personally, when Stewie went back in time to Nazu Germany, and they, aka SeTH made a mockery of wounded soldiers and did his gratuitous McCain/Palin button on the Nazi uniform. No matter who I would vote for, I think Seth is a prick for forcing that kind of shit down our throats as he squats down and licks Obama's ballsack. Family Guy has become that much less funny for me, and continues to. Look at the Simpsons, going strong for a zillion years and rarely having a stale episode, ever.. WITHOUT having to sensationalize the way the prick MacFuckface has to draw attention to himself with his dropping ratings. He sucks as a person, and I used to be a HUGE fan. He's become arrogant, just because he has "F.U." money and can do what he wants… for NOW. Oh, and the PTA equivalent? They can fuck themselves for wasting energy on this crap also.



    71. 271

      wow, what an awesome reply!



    72. 272

      Is that it?? Why do these people watch it if it offends them? Just so they can complain obviously. Sad. Get a life.

    76. 276

      I personally get PISSED OFF when corporate America feels it has a duty to pre-censor my TV, movies, music, etc. in the name of "good taste" and "family values"! What a bunch of tightasses, they need to worry about far more serious matters! Like at WalMart, you can buy virtually any TV series on DVD, just don't look for the Showtime series "Queer As Folk", THAT would be offensive! But they DO carry the controversy-laden 70s CBS classic "All in the Family". See where I'm going with this……?
