'Family Guy' 9/11 Episode: Did the Show Go Too Far This Time?

Family Guy especially -- or any comedy or comedian for that matter -- can never go "too far" because, well, it's their damn job to affect people! Of course some will always be offended or disturbed by something said, that's just the nature of "extreme" comedy. So buck up, whiners, it's meant to be funny, and if you find it offensive just sit back and reevaluate yourself. lmao

If you know Family Guy is offensive and don't like it then why would you watch it? Some people out there have no life and choose to watch shows they don't like just so they can complain. Yes 9/11 happened...and yes, it's going to be referenced in movies and t.v shows from time to time whether you like it or not. You can't stop Freedom of speech/expression but you can change the channel.

They've done worse. South Park has too. I mean I get it's heartbreaking, but we gotta move forward people. Never forget, but don't forget to live.

I've seen Family Guy cross the line waaaay worse than this. The 9/11 episode was actually timid for other things I've been offended by on this show. But again, I'm a fan. Sometimes they go too far, waay to far, but if you don't like it, or expect it, don't watch it.

maybe Brian & Stewie could recreat the last election too.

No different then what they allow south Park to put out......soo no it isn't to much for t.v. in my opinion plus he did miss a plan that was to crash that day...so he sort of is a part of the 9/11 tragedy.... just my opinion though no need to listen to me :/

Considering that Seth Mcfarland is an actual 911 survivor... by missing that plane by 2 minutes I think he has the right to write about something that was life changing to him. It was a funny episode, I enjoyed it, I laughed and it made me think.

I watched it on tv and thought it was hilarious.
I was a big fan of the 80's book series called "Choose your own adventure" where at certain spots in the book you can choose frome a few options. If you don't like how it turns out you can always go back and choose a different outcome.

I oftain wonder about events in out history what would happen if we did it different.
If we didn't go into Iraq , Afganistan, Korea, Viet Nam.
If the first George Bush had taken out Sadam..
Would there have been a 9-11 or if there still was we wouldn't be bothered with going into Iraq and just devestated Afganistan.

If we hadn't funneled money through Israel to the "freedom fighters" and just let Russia run amouck in Afganistan, would there be much left of that country and if so would they have any fight left to come after us.

Not to mention how Hitlers influence in the area was partially responsible for the Hussains rise to power.
(check the history channel for more on that)

The ripple effect of our dissisions.

I think it's interesting that if I criticize how an article is written, my post are often blocked, but I see a poster with the offensive handle of "Wut Up N***a!!" and it sails right thru. I wonder what the moderator's criteris are?
