Meanwhile, Family Guy Offers Its Own Take...
Sarah Palin was quite the punchline this weekend! First the Republican vice-presidential hopeful showed up on Saturday Night Live, where the cast - including Palin impersonator Tina Fey - feigned surprise at the politico's presence for the opening sketch, which we've included above. You may have seen it, though, because a record 14 million people tuned in to see the politico's cameo. Later, during Weekend Update, Palin made another appearance, but served mostly as window dressing while Amy Poehler performed a rap that was "meant" for the Governor. Said track includes send-ups of Alaska, Todd Palin, moose hunting and a call-and-response involving Obama and Ayers. It's pretty funny and Palin was a good sport. As if she had a choice. Meanwhile, we're not sure how the Governor feels about Family Guy's take on her her, which involved a time traveling Stewie and Brian encountering some McCain/Palin-supporting Nazis. See that - and the aforementioned rap - after the jump… |

We have to say something: we're terribly offended by Family Guy's resident queer lecher, Herbert. Seriously. Do we need a popular television show perpetuating myths about lonely old gays who feed on young teenage men? No. We don't. Where the fuck is GLAAD when you need them? Throwing some celebrity party, or something? Gawd! It's just such an affront to everything television stands for! Psych! We love Herbert and all his horribly stereotypical, potentially cannibalistic behavior. We don't love him as much as we love the AIDS song, but Herbert's up there… |

From the editor: While The Simpsons will always be my first prime time, illustrated love, the long-running sitcom can't compete with Family Guy's outrageous musical interludes. Remember the AIDS song that had you lot seething? Well, this one - "Prom Night Dumpster Baby" - may beat it out as my favorite Family Guy tune. It's not nearly as offensive, however. Unless you're a prom night dumpster baby… |

While we're pissing people off, enjoy this gruesomely funny Family Guy track: "The AIDS Song." Happy Friday! |
