PTC react to Family Gay

Family Gay promo

The Parents Television Council (PTC) have called upon its members to file a complaint at the FCC over the contents of last Sunday’s episode of Family Guy (Family Gay):-

“Family Guy is squarely aimed at young viewers and is never lacking in crude humor and explicit content, but this episode crossed the line. Imagine the shock of a family who stumbled across the show during the Sunday evening programming block, as early as 8 p.m. in the Central and Mountain Time zones. Fox treated viewers to everything from an ‘eleven-way’ gay orgy to baby Stewie eating a bowl of cereal with horse sperm instead of milk.”

The PTC have long been vocal in its disapproval of Fox’s hit animation, but does not very often call for action in the form of this recent campaign.

Last year, in an interview with LGBT news website the Advocate, Seth MacFarlane said on the subject of the PTC Family Guy attacks, “oh, yeah. That’s like getting hate mail from Hitler. They’re literally terrible human beings. I’ve read their newsletter, I’ve visited their website, and they’re just rotten to the core. For an organization that prides itself on Christian values – I mean, I’m an atheist, so what do I know? – they spend their entire day hating people. They can all suck my d**k as far as I’m concerned.”

    You’re mistaken. Seth said this, but it was actually over a year ago in this interview. News stories about the PTC’s recent complaints are simply re-quoting what Seth said last time they got pissed off. The quote appeared here originally last February:
