Damn pigs. Farkin' hate the cops.

So, how many OWS jokes are we going to get? maybe a whole episode just to set up on lame joke.

The cop in this scene will probably be played by the giant chicken man.

The police are there to keep the people in power, in power. Resistance is painful.

Gee, why isn't the so-called "liberal media" reporting on this?
 
2011-12-07 09:41:25 AM
That was really well-written. Thanks for posting this.

They will probably have a running gag where either Stewie or Peter sprays Brian in the face with the pepper spray randomly.

Illuminating. Thx, subby.

That's not right. He shouldn't get injured because of his peaceful protesting, he should get injured because of how Family Guy has declined in the past few seasons.

If the Occupy movement would do more to focus on the message he conveyed here, and let the American public know that message on a consistent, in your face basis, I would be much more sympathetic.

Did the writer scrape his knee and have it hurt for over two unfunny minutes?

The only people who are going to benefit from this nonsense (on both sides) are the lawyers. They must be just chompin' at the bit! The taxpayers will be paying for this for years (and since the 1% doesn't pay taxes...) to come.

cue Peter in blackface with sign saying not enough meat in KFC bucket getting water sprayed by the yellow chicken.

disgusting. absolutely disgusting.

/are there any online databases containing details of police brutality with the names of the officers involved? that's where i think we are going to have to go. if internal procedures continue to facilitate this kind of mindset, let's start naming and shaming them

"I was in a group of about 50 peaceful protestors who sat Indian-style, arms interlocked, around a tent . . . ."

American Indian or Indian Indian?

The nerve damage to his thumb and palm must've been debilitating, as evidenced by his ability to only type "non-violent" the first 100 times he mentioned protestors.

So... you know their message, but because it's not in your face every waking moment, you're not sympathetic? Pepsi Max ads f**king ruined you.

My name is Alan Smithee, and I'm a husband, a father, a writer on the Fox animated sitcom "Family Guy", and a member of the Unitarian Universalist Community Church of Santa Monica. Have I established my personal and professional credibility yet? Because I could go on about the time I crawled down into a sewer and rescued a baby bird that had fallen down the drain. Or I could tell you about the $2000 I donate to The Humane Society every year. I could also post some pictures of my elderly parents smiling at me, puppies licking my face, or the Mayor of Santa Monica sharing mojitos with my wife at a trendy beach bar. Are you convinced that I'm a good guy yet?

Well, anyway, I was arrested for trespassing after given plenty of fair warning and the opportunity to vacate. Even though my cause has no real goals or objectives, and has become basically a trendy way to spend an afternoon, I don't want you to consider my arrest as anything more than a petty crime. I just didn't feel like obeying the law, so I broke it. I have to pay a fine now, but if I didn't make it clear before, I make a lot of money, so no big deal.

Wow, I don't know why I'm writing all of this, but then again I get paid to stretch a simple gag out for a minute and a half. Oh man, I am working on this scene where Peter falls down three hundred flights of stairs, into an elevator which takes him back to the top, back down the stairs, onto an escalator that takes him back up, again down the stairs, and ends with ... I don't have an ending yet, but thank God it's just Family Guy. I don't even proofread my rough drafts before handing them in!

Anyway, I hope you weren't expecting some well thought out and reasoned argument as to why it's wrong to arrest trespassers, because there's really no excuse. But if I don't get at least 10,000 hits to my blog, then I'm going to go out and do it again. But next time I'll wear a clown suit or maybe dress as a bear. Whatever it takes to get attention.

1,400 heavily-armed LAPD officers in paramilitary SWAT gear

ZOMG and and they had assault rifles and tactical donuts and fully automatic wallets capable of burst fire and like were engaged in a tactical assault with ballistic underpants and armor-piercing walkie-talkies

Meh. It's had it's moments. But even Seth MacFarlane wishes it was canceled. If you know pop culture, Family Guy's appeal is that you're apart of an in-joke and thus somehow feel connected to the show. Otherwise it recycled so much old shiat that you feel like you're watching an animated version of Dream On, only it's slightly more entertaining.

Thanksgiving conversation:

"So, what are those weirdo Occupy people protesting *for* anyway? Huh?"

"At this point, their right to protest."

"I was put on a paddywagon . . . ."

The use of the word "paddywagon" is culturally insensitive to the oppression of Irish immigrants, not politically correct, and not in accord with with caring, sharing, and nurturing standards of OWS.

You must now be sent to a re-education camp.

Bullshiat, there is no way that guy works for Family Guy, because there wasn't 16 flasbacks.

This blog is worse than the time Stweie went to work for Huff Po.

I trust that while passing the time as a protestor he was writing top drawer rape and domestic violence jokes.

Oh my god I can't take it anymore. I seriously don't understand why people here with brains evidently comprised of foul feculant faeces still refuse to condemn the police brutality and make pathetic excuses on their behalf. You don't have to like the farking occupy people to realise what the police have done to them is beyond reprehensible, and you don't have to like the occupy people to realise that certain people have done more damage to the financial stability of the world, stolen billions through fraud and deserve to be imprisioned.

So a bunch of people getting together to peacefully protest huge corporate theft which has left the world teetering on the edge of financial disaster and you have a problem with their goals, I can accept that. There are plenty of braindead people in the world, but it really does go beyond rank stupidity and bordering into dangerous levels of insolence when you actively applaud these barbarous levels of police brutality.

The police are violently assaulting and torturing innocent people on YOUR streets and you don't give a fark? Jesus Christ you're despicable and downright ignorant.

Right now, there is a coordinated, Soviet-style crackdown on civil, nonviolent anti-oligarchy demonstrations all over the country. MSM is silent, as are virtually all of our "leaders."

There's a sickening feeling you get when the awful things you suspected, but secretly hoped weren't true, about the world are ultimately confirmed as real.

I have no problem with protests. People protesting against the established order is why we have democracy and minimum wage and really all sorts of things that makes living in the west so awesome. The OWS protests though stopped making sense to me a long time ago. At first I thought it would go somewhere and make a difference but after awhile it just started to look like a bunch of hippies hanging out and saying that the world is unfair and they were going to keep hanging out until something somewhere changed. They stopped trying to make a point and went from being protesters to squatters and when they refused to leave they were removed and I have no problem with that. Sorry hippies you lost and you can blame the police and you can blame the media but next time get your script in order before you start demanding the world's attention. Maybe find someone dedicated enough to the cause to set himself on fire or something like that.
