17 FebLatest Family Guy Episode

So it is really bothering me that people were offended by the Family Guy episode where Chris has a crush on a girl with Downs Syndrome.
First, it’s Family Guy, and they offend EVERYONE! Second, the portrayal of the girl with downs syndrome was a positive, strong, independent woman who knew what she wanted and demanded it. It is silly that the comment that would offend people was the one referring to Sarah Palin. When Chris asked what her parents do she said her mom was the former governor of Alaska. And why does this anger Sarah?? Is she ashamed of having a child with downs syndrome? Does she not hope one day her son will be out on a date with another individual?? Voicing his likes and dislikes to others? Being in control of the situation like the girl (I don’t remember her name) was in the episode? So maybe someone can enlighten me on what was so offensive about Family Guy having a person with Downs Syndrome on the show? They really didn’t make fun of her. Personally, I think people should be more offended from the episode where they are at a museum and looking at the exhibit of New Orlean’s with all of the bodies floating under water. OR when they are making fun of Marlee Matlin calling Movie Phone! All of which made me chuckle.
All I am saying is that this has riled me up and I needed somewhere to vent. :) Maybe Stewie’s song about the downs syndrome girl pushed the line a little, but again, it’s Family Guy! One of the greatest adult cartoon’s that has ever been made!
