New Yorker Makes Family Guy Unfunny
They clearly have no anuses over there at the New Yorker. Yes, the mag wrote a piece on Family Guy, and yes, that in itself is cool.
But just peep this sentence, in the terribly overblown lead:
” This is not at all a criticism of boys or what they turn into; it just happens to be a fact and a diamond-hard one, that boys aren’t subject to the depredations of the Four Horsemen of Appropriateness — Received Notions About Femininity, Fear of Not Being Perceived as Nice, No Boy Will Ever Want You If You Act / Look / Talk Like That, and Caring Too Much What Other People Think of You”
In my head, I can hear Peter going, “Ah, Jeez” in his “hugely fat happy idiot” voice.
Check the piece for yourself here.

I’d be apathetic if I weren’t so lethargic.

My anus actually disappeared while I was reading that article. Fortunately for us all, it returned a few moments ago.

For those of you who aren’t giant Family guy fans, during one episode of the show, Brian went to work for the New Yorker only to discover that there were no toilets in the bathrooms, because no one who worked there had an anus.
