The producers of Family Guy would like to be nominated for an Emmy Award. But some don’t believe their latest mailing will accomplish this goal.
The flyer speaks for itself:
Naturally, anyone who has heard any of a number of Family Guy quotes is aware this is par for the sitcom’s controversial, non-PC course. But that doesn’t mean the campaign is going over well.
“While I think Family Guy is a genuinely funny show, we all – including this ‘Brentwood Jew’ -need to think twice about this kind of humor,” a TV executive told E! News. “Stereotyping any particular ethnic group is just not cool and can lead others (with the wrong intentions) to feel a certain license to take shots. Surely Seth [MacFarlane] has better stuff than this.”
What do you think of the campaign? Did the show go too far?
