You're right, and we are the media.>> ^VoodooV:

Is this really a feud?? But nah...the media wouldn't take a minor tiff and inflate it into something more would they?!

>> ^rychan:

I still can't figure out what episode this joke occurred in. Here's what McFarlane said about the joke, if that gives anyone some hints:
"There was a very inside joke on "Family Guy" referring to the fact that he was working before the writers' strike was over. It was admittedly a very direct middle finger of a joke, which I don't discount."


It must be very, very inside, because I did some googling and it seems like no one knows what the joke is.

McFarlane "How do you find out these things?"

Morgan visibly thinking, "Don't say because you remember all your phone-tapping skills from when you were an editor for Rupert Murdoch!"

Now if only I could find this inside joke hidden in an episode of Family Guy that annoyed Jon Stewart.


Well, where is it? I like to see it too.

>> ^kymbos:

Somebody's phone got hacked!


My first thought, also.

If only Pierce put this investigative effort into real stories, we might have a better world.


No he'd be cancelled twice as fast.

Piers Morgan is a shit stirring mercenary tabloid c t.
With any luck he'll be summoned back to the UK to answer for going through peoples bins and voicemails for the last 20 years along with the Murdoch monsters.
And then hung.
In case that's not clear, I don't really like him.


He's got a hell of an investigative crew though. Seth was genuinely amazed he found this crap out.

If you watched Jon Stewart during the strike, Stewart would take a good couple of minutes, had running gags, etc. talking about how the writers were being shafted every night. ("A Daily Show", not "The Daily Show", etc.) He explained if he shut the show down, it would cost a lot of his other staff their jobs and livelihood. But he made a point every show to declare he was on the side of the writers. McFarlane surely could have picked a more appropriate target.

With that said, whatever. Not a big deal in the big scheme of things...

Thanks, double J.

Why is it Seth McFarlane claims to be atheist yet jesus always appears in Family guy (even if it's in a funny context)? And the only regularly appearing atheist character on Family Guy is a self-righteous egotistical dog? Seth says the so called 'atheist movement' "is about fuckin' time" yet when Quagmire tells off Brian, he rips into him for not believing in god... WTF? Up yours Seth.


Don't confuse Seth's beliefs with those of the characters on the show.
