But so is insulting people for no other reason than for cheap laughs. That's not breaking down barriers - that's whoring yourself out. Some of MacFarlane's stuff is genuinely funny, but some of it is genuinely insulting and without merit. I mean, he literally puts little swipes in at people or religion that aren't funny and just come across as petty and mean. I don't see the point. Political correctness is stupid.

Anyone remeber the politically correct era of the 1980's/90's ? Wether you like these shows or not, they are expanding our culture as fast as computer gaming. (For better or for worse...)

It's a numbers game and they obviously feel like he's worth it. That's just good business. I'm deeply saddened by the fact that MacFarlane's work makes so much more money than other people's work, though, since I don't really consider it all that good. Just my opinion, I guess. I used to think Family Guy was amusing but the constant and pointless attacks on religion just got to be too much. He really seems to have a chip on his shoulder about Christianity.

Carlton Cuse has been running <i>Lost</i> for the majority of its run, now. J.J. is off making movies. Whether you like MacFarlane (I do) or not, he's making FOX a lot of money at this point. They need to worry about keeping his energies focused on making them money on TV and online, as opposed to making too much content for others through his MRC/Google deal. R.A.
