While I do agree that Family Guy can cross the line at times, I think most of the time they are trying to point out the hypocrisy and faults of our society. I mean I don't really know what they're trying to do with Stewie, I'm not sure what he's supposed to be mocking or pointing out, but I'd love to hear some theories. Unfortunately I missed the end of the Cho routine that we were watching, but the first half was...interesting. I certainly found bits of it funny, but I wonder what it is about her that makes it okay for her to joke about certain things and not other people. Is it because she's from a marginalized culture? Because she's most likely dealt with racism and discrimination? So, basically, is it okay because she's not white? I don't know, but I'll have to see if Netflix has the dvd so I can catch the end.
