I've watched Family Guy a few times, and I find it hilarious. However, I'm not sure how I feel about them doing, or thinking about doing, a show on abortion. I'm very pro-choice, but I think abortion is NOT a laughing matter. This post isn't demonizing Family Guy, but instead trying to say that not all issues can be made funny...now matter how many talking babies are in the show. Simply put, something things can be serious and humorous at once. However, not everyone knows how to safely make those jokes, so why bother taking that risk?
P.S. I also have a few problems with the way the show jokes about disabled individuals and other minorities. Those issues will probably be discussed in later posts.
