'Family Guy' Actor's Mom Says Show is Corrupting Youth, Hopes It Gets Canceled!!!

[Brian Damage]

As a member of the Parents Television Council (PTC), Barbara Warburton’s goal is to do whatever it takes to keep children from watching “corrupting” television programs such as Family Guy — even if it means butting heads with her son.

“The wrong messages are out there and that’s my main concern,” said Warburton, a Destin resident whose son Patrick voices the character Joe Swanson, a paralyzed cop, on the hit FOX TV show. “Shows like these are leading toward the destruction of morality… nothing seems sacred anymore.”

Through the PTC, Warburton and thousands of others with like-minded beliefs filed a formal complaint of indecency to the Federal Communications Commission last year to protest the program that commonly makes fun of Christianity, homosexuals and most other topics that might be deemed off limits.

Describing her son as a “compassionate, wonderful, caring and sincere” person, Warburton told The Log that she doesn’t approve of some of the roles that he has chosen over the years.

In addition to Family Guy, Patrick, who is a regular visitor to Destin, has also appeared in Seinfeld, The Tick, Rules of Engagement and Bee Movie, just to name a few.

...and here's hoping that Mrs. Warburton has some other means of financial support other than her son, because I have the feeling he will no longer take her calls. Talk about backing the wrong horse in the race...

^ Eh, I doubt he'll go that far. You can disagree with your family politically and still have great relations with them. Patrick does a lot of stuff other than Joe Swanson so even if FG got cancelled (and it won't) he'd live well.

I don't care for Family Guy and wouldn't mind if it went off the air forever, but not because some over-zealous holy roller is trying to censor it.
