I don't think this was any more offensive than the "Dixie" episode, the "Husband, Father, ... Brother" episode or the "Lethal Weapons" episode (I live in New York.)

I was more upset by the "Thin White Line" and the negative portrayal of coke addicts. Come on, coke heads are people too. Right? Right?

Nothing offensive at all. I was raised Catholic, and didn't find those parts offensive. This should have aired.

Well, thank you very much for the final released episode of Family Guy. And wow, was it a doozy in parts. The LifeTime bit was absolutely hilarious, "Television For Idiots", as was the clouds and all the other parodies. In terms of hilarious moments, had some of the best.

Now, I was worried about it being offensive, and well, it was, but only in a few parts...I'll just post them in case anybody cares... 1. The two songs. Sorry, especially the line "they killed our lord". Even though most historians will tell you its not true, and its completely unnecessary and somewhat offensive to include. Both songs were. 2. I know the episode was based completely on the stereotypes of Jews (mostly false and ancient ones), but well, I think it got taken way too far in a few parts. 3. Stewie (hitler). I think the part with the yarmulka was too much. Really not funny and not a good reminder. Unless I'm reading too much into it, I think that was the intent though. 4. Foreskin joke segment not necessary.

Other than that, yes, was somewhat tame and quite funny. But I do agree it should've been pulled...I guess I'm the only Family Guy fan who would say that, but as long as it would be released someday, I agree with its pulling.

And yes, we all appreciate it!

I still thought it was not that bad. Did you think the Catholic parts would be offensive to Catholics? That wasn't even smoothed over in the end.

I almost forgot, the Woody Allen retainer line was over the edge. I thought I was going to choke laughing at that.

And another thing, I think I am offended. The petafile line was totally unnecessary, and offensive to all decent Petafile Americans.

This just shows your hypocricy on the matter. Any humor about jews wasn't really about Jews, it was about Peter's ignorance of them. However, the Lifetime joke basically said women are idiots. So, you're OK w/ a joke that blatantly calls women idiots, but not OK with jokes that are about ignorance concerning judaism? Think about it.

That line is VERY FUNNY and it's really a joke about the ignorance of christians who would make such a claim.

Not really....the episode was about the ignorance of stereotypes.

I think you're reading into it. He's just not a hat person.

Why? Any religious ritual that cuts a piece of your penis off without your consent should be made fun of.

It shouldn't have been pulled as it's no more "offensive" than "Husband, Father, Brother" or "Ready Willing & Disabled" etc etc etc.

Thank you for taking your time, SZJ. I wasn't going to waste mine.

And if I didn't thank you for the ep already, thanks a million.

"What, women are things?" And yes, that foreskin joke obviously was wrong if you're going to make fun of a religious ceremony, and a lot of people get it done anyways. I thought you guys follow what you call "the old testament" as well...how do you avoid these things.

In any case, other than the songs I thought the episode was generally not offensive at all, and I could tolerate the small offensive remarks.

What I think got this banned was Peter's blatant fixation on singling out a Jew. I mean, how much could you take of that.

But thanks a lot for the episode!
