Family Guy disses the WNBA
Tonight's episode of Family Guy, which I usually find funny in its treatment of the government and conservativism, did something very unfunny. They dissed the WNBA hardcore, commenting on low scoring (it was 16-9 at the start of the 2nd half with the two high scoring superstars contributing 4 points apiece). Far more egregious though was the statement from the commentators which went something like "is such stardom worth being so ugly."
Pat Griffin, writing about the Imus incident on the It Takes a Team Blog, wondered if the comment was not overtly racist but just sexist (and homophobic--an aspect most have ignored) would it have created such as uproar.
Probably not. The sexist treatment of the WNBA on an animated cartoon may not generate any news at all.
But if you saw the episode and were also offended get in touch with Twentieth Century Fox which produces the show. I cannot find contact info right now but when I do I will post it.

Fox should sue you for misquoting there show. Take out your tampon, turn it around, and settle down. Bitch ;).
And my god they are all so ugly.
HAHAHAHA that has got to be the funniest shit I've read in days!
Just you keep telling yourself that, my dear, and one day a man might touch you in your special place.
It's not sexism, it's science.
no joke, look it up (you f-ing, over-sensitive, whining c***).
If I want to watch a bunch of lesbians sweating over each other I'll watch porn, at least the women in that are decent looking.
This is just a completely pointless sport.
Do you hear yourself? You are a hypocrite. You probably consider yourself diverse based on your race or gender but the reality is those things are benign. True diversity means diversity of thought, something you are against.
Plus it's fucking humor, get over it. I bet you laugh like a fucking hyena when they make fun of Bush....loser.
It has been 25 years, when does the rewrite begin? Maybe in another 25 years.
One word - delusional
