Mike Dickinson of www.FreeSpeechRevolution.com writes: Recently, the American Family Association went on a media blitz to condemn television networks that show and advertisers that support the cartoon show “Family Guy”, listing a series of scenes they thought were “sickening material” including:

• Peter helps his son with his math homework and turns the problem into an explicit conversation about “glory holes” and “circuit parties,” which are references to gay sex.

• Peter lies in bed with his rear exposed and moans in pleasure when a horse, which he assumes is his wife, licks his rear.

While these “moral crusaders” may claim these animated acts by animated characters are “sickening” the true “sickness” is those in the American Family Association. Make no mistake the “American Family Association”
represents the average American family as much as Larry the Cable Guy represents true cable technicians. The “American Family Association” is a sarcastic joke and does not represent the true views of the typical American family.

Instead, the American Family Association is a special interest group, funded by special interest religious and right-wing organizations to represent a religious and right-wing agenda. This is the number one play our opponents do and run best; express public “outrage” in the name of families when in reality families do not care. They do it because there is a long-standing sympathy in American courts, American politics, American media, and American public opinion for children and families.

A bitter asshole like Donald E. Wildmon, [pictured] Chairman of the American Family Association, gets on television or the radio and spews incessantly about how “bad” he thinks Family Guy is, and nobody gives a shit. Yet, he invokes the names of families and children and suddenly everything thinks his views should be taken carefully since he represents the views of mainstream normal families and children. He doesn’t.

Wildmon and the American Family Association are extremists who exploit children for their own political gain.

While Wildmon criticizes Family Guy, he misses a key point. While they may be offended by the actions of Peter and Stewie, I am offended by them. The sheer presence of Donald E. Wildmon and his cult followers the American Family Association makes me sick. If it was my world I’d ship them all off to the infamous interrogation room at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba for a little Q & A with the United States Military. I am that offended by them. Yet, they have the right to exist and express their views and I have the right to watch or read, or to not watch or read.

Instead of acting like mature, civilized adults, Wildmon and his followers, take a fine page from Family Guy as their idiotic and asinine behavior mirrors that of a drunken Peter Griffin, turning animation into reality. We must remember that simply because the “American Family Association” (which I am convinced exists of Wildmon and his 4 followers hunkered around a television in a basement eating gumbo in Mississippi waiting for the apocalypse), is offended means nothing and speaks to no true view of the average American family.
