Family Guy Controversy

Over the weekend i was watching tv, and I noticed that the newest episode of family guy was on. In this episide, Stewie and Brian get sent back in time to Germany during the time of World War II. While trying to escape, they steal nazi uniforms and when they appear for the first time in them, stewie looks down at his near the swastika ahd just when audiences think he's going to react about that, instead he lifts the collar of his jacket and there is a McCain Palin button on the jacket in which he reacts "huh that's wierd." Personally I thought it was hilarious with the upcoming election because family guy is known to stick little jokes here and there with something big that is going on in the world. Apparently the media didn't think it too funny because there have been many news articles on the web saying that it is offensive and saything that the makers of family guy are implying that nazi's would have supported McCain. I don't understand why people try and blow these things way out of proportion?

Week 9 Post

At the advice of the other bloggers I decided to vistit this barelypolitical.com. It was very humorous and featured a lot of videos. One video in particular made fun of John McCain's age by showing some clips where he slipped up on some lines. The video states that he should obtain a age card that allows him to do these things without explanation. The video makes a very good point through their joke. A lot of voters are worried about John McCain's age and how it will affect his ability to run the country. Or even worse if he were to pass while in office. While poking fun it also reveals that this is in fact a real worry amongst Americans.

I was surfing the web today and I ended up on the barelypolitical.com site. They had this one video called "The Big McCain: Mark It Zero" which basically just poked fun at McCain and how he is such a "tough guy". The video took a clip from a movie and posted McCain's head over the guys body as he completely blows up at another guy who just bowled a frame in a bowling ally because his foot went over the line. One line that really made fun of McCain was when the guy said "this isn't 'nam, we have rules here" seeing as John is such a strong military supporter I thought that was crossing the line a bit, even though I found it funny. It seems as the election comes closer, more videos are being posted on the internet making fun of candidates to try and sway voters in those last few weeks.

Barely political

Seeing as our website founders believed in humor i think this website is the spitting image of what we admire. Comedy in politics and not taking things serious. I was on youtube wathcing the candidate girl olympics when afterwards this website popped up http://www.barelypolitical.com/. Pretty much the only way i'll have anything to do with politics because i'm so sick of hearing about the same old things. I highly recomend the bigfoot nessie 08 video. It pokes fun at both McCain and Obama it says McCain owns 8 homes Obama owns 1.......and bigfoot doesnt own any he lives in the woods. This video also said something funny about big feat and big shoes to fill. It also had Nessie as the running mate which come to find out is a female dinosaur they edited a clip of matt damon talking about sarah palin asking if she thought dinosaurs were around 4000 years ago then said nessie was there and shes a female. I'm thinking we might want to further pursue this website if it gets updated frequently or we could just continue with our broad topic as we discussed.
