Local time where you're at. ("Where you're at"?)

(Hat tip HDD, with thanks.)

On Sundays, Denizens, as you all well know, I love to watch football.&#160 And since the C’boys are an NFC team, that usually – not always, but usually – means that I’m watching them on Fox.

Of course, after the game, I’m usually pretty quick to turn the channel over to NBC to watch Madden & Michaels, even if I do&#160 have to put up a bit with Keith Olberdouche.

But even if that weren’t the case, I’m always loathe to keep the channel on Fox after football, simply because their animated lineup sucks blue balls.&#160 I’ve never seen the point of The Simpsons&#160 (except for their couch scene during opening credits, which changes from week to week and is occasionally pretty funny); King of the Hill&#160 is an animated version of Everybody Loves Raymond&#160 with regards to their humor quotient (which is to say, it doesn’t have a whole lot thereof), and American Dad&#160 is a parody which I, quite honestly, find offensive.

Then there’s Family Guy.

On Oct. 5, Fox’s Sunday night cartoon debuted an episode titled “I Dream of Jesus,” a play on “I Dream of Jeannie.” Get it? Jesus is a fairy tale, like a genie in a bottle. The title character, Peter Griffin, wanders into a record shop, where he finds Jesus Christ minding the store. Jesus lies to Peter, trying to deny who he is, until Peter threatens to urinate on the albums of Christian artist Amy Grant. Jesus comes clear on his identity and explains he came to Earth “just to get away from the family … my dad just quit smoking, and he’s a little on edge.” What follows is an entire story that chronicles, in rather amazing fashion, how this lying, slacker Jesus is even dumber than Peter, the greatest idiot on animated television today.

Our Guardians of Social Taste would probably shut “Family Guy” down if it featured Peter Griffin as a demented Buddha, or maybe featured a drunken Mohammed, or God forbid — made fun of Barack Hussein Obama. But Seth MacFarlane hasn’t crossed the Anti-Defamation League, or the Council for American-Islamic Relations, or Obama’s “Fight the Smears” web page.

The difference, of course, being that Christians don’t fly off into a Murderous Rage&#153 at bullshit like this.&#160 Widdle Sethie MacFuckwit isn’t in abject danger of losing his head to a squadron of Christian machete wielders – because no such squad exists.&#160 There will be no Christian fatwa&#160 issued on Widdle Sethie McFuckwit, nor any jihad&#160 declared on him or his fellow anti-Christian bigots.

We’ll just say that, all other things being constant going forward, we hope that Sethie has his asbestos undies packed.&#160 He’ll likely need them where he’s going.
