Is Family Guy insulting me?

I watch Family Guy -- heck, I even like Family Guy. It's funny, irreverent, intelligent (although each episode seems to include one moment of pointless stupidity, just to be annoying) even musical. Of course, if you're a follower of the Judeo-Christian lifestyle expect to be the butt of the occasional joke (Jewish not to rough, Catholic pretty bad, protestants in between). Last night it was a slam against folks preaching Abstinence. They pretty much follow the Planned Parenthood propaganda on that one (while portraying the abstinence folks a mind controlling infiltrators). They also seemed to have read reports that while "Danger" sex is down, alternative sex is way up (on the show, it was portrayed as Ear Sex -- which is not only stupid and gross, but allows them to pretend the kids were having something other than oral sex, which we all know from former president Clinton isn't sex anyways). And when it came to the condom brigade, Lois (the same one who had problems hosting Brian's Cousin's gay wedding -- at least until Lois saw the light and changed her beliefs -- I mean her mind) was leading the charge. So Lois convinces the kids that safe sex is better than wait-until-it-means-something sex, Meg gets dumped by her boyfriend afterwards (gee, imagine that, a guy dumps a girl once he gets into her pants -- never see that in real life do you). Don't worry though, she wasn't a virgin anymore anyway, not after she lost it to Jimmy Fallon "live in new york" in a previous episode.

Of course, none of it should matter anyway, right? It's a cartoon, it's not real. Of course, that's what they said about Murphy Brown -- and it's not like there's been a virtual epidemic of fatherless children amongst famous actresses in Hollywood since then...
