The PTC is at it again, they’re protesting Seth MacFarlane (again). I guess the premiere episode of American Dad this past Sunday went a little too far for the PTC’s liking because it referenced oral sex, and ejaculation. PTC President, Tim Winter said in a statement, “Is the man that the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has selected to host next year’s Oscars telecast, following in the footsteps of such Hollywood legends as Bob Hope and Johnny Carson? In the past, American Dad and MacFarlane’s other programs have included scenes mocking people with Down syndrome, implying father-daughter incest, a man masturbating a horse, a baby eating horse sperm, and a character eating vomit and excrement out of a baby’s diaper.”

They’re just like PETA and they’ll protest anything they can… 

I just had this thought–you know how PETA protesters (not the organization) throw paint on fur? I wonder what PTC protesters will throw? Small children at animation studios? Ugly babies?

My final thought on this: If they don’t want their kids watching this program, then they shouldn’t let them watch it. Simple. When I was a kid watching stuff I shouldn’t be watching, half of the stuff just flew over my head anyway. Chances are little Timmy or Bobby will figure out what oral sex and ejaculation are at some point in their life, why not learn from a cartoon?

    PTC is so yesterday with their protests. Until you are picketed by the WBC, you are nothing.

    My MIL gets the PTC newsletter, and is always calling mrs cranky to tell her to avoid some “awful” show on TV but ends up asking, “You don’t watch that, do you?” Half the time, ones of us actually does, and mrs cranky tells her. The MIL is all, “Oh, my. Mercy me. Oh, dear.”

    The world doesn’t revolve around the PTC and their kids. These same people are the ones who complain about too much goverment in their lives but will do the same to everyone else.

    If you don’t like it…don’t watch it. Just go by some “Leave It To Beaver” DVD’s and go live in your right wing bubble.

    Good thing the PTC doesn’t have access to some of the European television shows. I can just see them now, clutching their pearls and having the vapors over the nudity.

    They do know that televisions come with more than one channel and an off switch, right? I think that the Family Guy is juvenile, annoying, and unfunny, so I make sure to reach for my handy-dandy channel-changer whenever I hear the theme music start. And voila! Problem solved. And I find Seth MacFarlane to be a hack that I have no interest in watching or listening to, so I’ll simply make sure that my TV is attuned to the alternate channels while the Oscars are airing (I usually don’t watch them anyway). And hey, maybe — just maybe, — I won’t turn on my TV at all and I’ll be doing something more productive. Amazing all the options I have at my disposal….

    I think that the problem is not watching. People know that they can change the channel. The problem is that when crass people like Seth MacFarlane are invited to host a big show like The Oscars, they are sending a message that it’s OK to say the things he says.
    I’m so over Family Guy, and I never even cared to watch any of his other 3,000 shows!

    Yes, but as much as I don’t like him, he can say whatever he wants. There’s lots of stuff on tv that I don’t like or agree with, but I don’t get to decide whether or not people can say them. It’s not like he’s advocating genocide. If the Academy likes Seth MacFarlane, that might make me like the academy less (not that I had great respect for them in the first place — the Oscars are a joke). There’s lots of people who don’t like the shows that PTC stands for too. Everyone can’t get everything that they want. I prefer to save my energy for protesting the things that really affect the lives of real people.
