Is ‘Family Guy’s’ ‘Gay Orgy’ Episode to Blame for Indecency Complaints to FCC? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

The FCC logged 245,241 complaints in the first quarter, a 246% increase from the fourth quarter of 2008, with indecency complaints soaring in March, says B&C.

The commission received 179,997 indecency complaints in March alone, up from a few hundred in both January and February.

Although the agency doesn’t break out the source of complaints, the Parents Television Council previously told members to protest a March 8 episode of “Family Guy” in which “Fox treated viewers to everything from an ‘11-way' gay orgy to baby Stewie eating a bowl of cereal with horse sperm instead of milk,” PTC president Tim Winter said at the time.

this is basically the same crap that married with children got from that bitch Rakolta in 1989. If you don't like what's on the televison and don't think it's aproprate then change the goddamn chanell. With well over 100 chanelles for most people i'm sure theres something on one of them that you don't have to complain about to the fcc every 20 seconds. J.C!

This reminds me of the song Peter, Brian, and Stewie sang in season 4 about "the fellows at the freakin FCC"!
