Seth McFarlane talks about South Park
At a recent speech given to students at Stanford University, Family Guy
creator Seth McFarlane alluded to the "Cartoon Wars" two-part episode of South Park which ruthlessly
took aim at Family Guy for using easy humor and being written by manatees. Anyone who has read interviews with
McFarlane has probably guessed that he didn't really have a problem with the episode, stating, "they sh*t on
everybody like we do." Spoken like a true satirist, says I. Besides, I'm looking forward to a Family Guy
where they take a few shots at South Park. I'm not here to root for one team, I just like watching the
battle.
In the same speech, McFarlane also spoke about censorship, and that the interference of family advocacy groups would only get worse. Despite their different approaches, this seems like one thing both South Park and Family Guy have in common.
