Poll: Is this Family Guy ad anti-Semitic?

Poll: Is this Family Guy ad anti-Semitic?

By Laughspin Staff | May 30, 2012 at 2:24 pm | One comment | News, Opinion | Tags: Family Guy, poll, seth macfarlane

Family Guy and its creator Seth MacFarlane have never shied away from controversy. And the latest headline-grabbing move related to the long-running animated series on Fox comes in the form of a print ad, designed to win over Emmy voters. MacFarlane tweeted the ad, explaining that this was “the Emmy ad the trades refused to run.” As you can see below, it’s the show’s main character, Peter Griffin — known for the occasional anti-semitic remark — delivering this message to the voting body: “Come on, you bloated, overprivileged Brentwood Jews. Let us into your little club.”

So, what do you think? Cast your vote below! Or if you have something more to say, sound off in the comments section!

    You need an option for “Maybe not anti-Semitic, but also not at all funny.” Unless you count the idea of Family Guy being an “outstanding comedy series”.
