As politically incorrect as it is, Family Guy’s reference to Sarah Palin achieved exactly what it meant to do: piss her off. And, making it even funnier, she took the bait. Hook, line and sinker.
I am an avid fan of Family Guy, and love how it pushes the envelope of satire and political correctness. In my view, Seth McFarlane is a genius. He wanted a reaction out of the ever-annoying Sarah Palin, and boy did he get it. But, speaking to her true intelligence, she didn’t even figure out the reference to her. She took the reference at face value, that Family Guy was poking at Down Syndrome, which I know without a doubt Seth wouldn’t openly make fun of without a point behind it. It wasn’t a poke at her disabled child, but a poke at her herself. Seth is openly critical of her and the Fox network, which funnily enough is the network that hosts his show.
I’m waiting for Fox to side with Palin and cancel Family Guy (again). I imagine it will happen, because Seth is not holding back on his bashing of the network or their recently acquired idiotic, stone age commentator. I can’t believe people listen or even pay the slightest attention to either of these ridiculous things. Yes, I said things.
