Dann you are an idiot.

Albeit Nate might have been rude yesterday, he was right to dismiss my lamentable heeds to attention. It was a fragile moment, regardless --Nate should have catered to that with more attention. You, on the other hand, acted nicely and cared. It was great and I can only thank you as much for it.

I was going to dance a jig since you said I was right but the 2nd half bummed me out. Honest, whole-heartedly, no bullshit, no faggotness: you're a good guy and an even better friend. Had I actually been worried about you, I would have dealt more delicately. But, knowing you the little I do, I know you won't do anything as foolish as suicide. In our little time together as friends, I've seen you in distress several times. I know you have the capacity to work through hard times and that is why I joked. If I thought you were actually going to do it, I would have begged and harassed you not to do it because, frankly, we need more artistic and forward-thinking people such as yourself in this world. I'd hate to see the "idiotic" slice of the population pie grow larger after you deceased.

I can see right in your actions, Kody. You meant good, but I am afraid your selective behaviour might have not been as accurate as you would expect.

Yea Kody, come on, we need positive influences here!

I will live; as always. Death is not an option for me. I am the strongest and most capable person in the world.

That's my point above.

Yea I could see you in a suit going door to door.

people take so much for granted, only one showing respect is the old (most likely) war veteran, so sad

Yea, I don't see how that's a lulz image.

Hmmm.

Apparently, he can not be bothered to reply back to them...

You're right, I cannot be bothered with such trivial inquiries from peons such as yourself. Good day to you sir.

Since quotes got too confusing...

1 - Eh.
2 - Fox isn't banning the episode per-se but more banning the airing of the episode. i.e. choosing what they want to air. THAT is also their right and freedom. It's like me telling you where you can and can't drive your car when I have absolutely no authority at all, YOU own it, YOU get to decide where to go (within the laws and on public property). Them not being able to choose is just asinine.
3 - I'm not. Most people would probably disagree with what I would choose to be welcome. Fox has every right to. Sure the ratings speak for themselves and they have certain obligations with contracts and advertisers but ultimately, in the end, it's still their channel. I said "welcome" in the way that it's not welcome by whomever banned the airing of it, I'm sure there's plenty of loyal fans and persons involved with the shows creation that would love to see it aired and thus welcome it.

AJ, that's always been obvious and always been fine as far as I'm concerned. But when the whole show becomes encompassed in pushing views and doing controversial things that aren't funny, WTF is the point? I'm not familiar with the episode either, I'm just speaking from prior episode's I've seen. I know there's always political humor and that's ok but Family Guy just becomes too entrenched in it to still be an animated adult comedy.

I remember a few episodes back, the first major line was crossed with me. Stewie did his alternate universe thing and they ended up in the Disney universe where everyone was drawn like Disney characters. That skit in the show pretty much ended with the Griffins bloodily beating the hell out of Mort because he's Jewish. This of course is supposed to draw comedy from Walt Disney being anti-semitic. I understand why it's supposed to be funny but it got pretty graphic and antisemitism isn't the viewpoint of the Griffins. It just had no purpose and didn't prove a point, it wasn't funny.

and for the record, i'm not a fan of family guy either.

I agree, I think this is why alot of people like to watch that show in the first place. For that particular brand of humor.

True but they're still pushing it more and more, beating a dead horse. It's not a comedy show anymore, it's a one-sided animated talk show.

Fox should not have the right to ban what they think is inappropriate or not, and even less right when it falls within the FCC guidelines.

When they own it and you don't, they have more of a right to say what goes on than you, the watcher, does. FCC is FUBAR, they need to GTFO.

Banning it only makes people want to watch it more, and in this day and age of almost universal internet access - just about anybody can. I'm sure it aired somewhere, sometime, and has already been uploaded to a tracker.

True, but at least it's not aired where it's not welcome. That's the point.

Family guy is a TV show, an animated TV show, a comedy TV show...so why do people get so offended when a controversial topic comes up? Those are like the bread and butter of comedy shows. s/t

Again, they have to keep pushing the lines further and further to try and keep the funny there. It's not that I'm outraged at the topics, it's that it's just not funny anymore and what's the point in pushing controversial topics to produce something that's not funny. Of course this is my opinion, obviously Kody thinks it's funny. Keep in mind though, I've seen every show except a lot of the ones in the latest season. I completely enjoyed the early seasons, when they were in their prime, now it's just dead.
