Courtesy of the American Family Assholiation: Protest Pepsi!

Here is what Pepsi helped sponsor on the March 8th, 2009 episode of Family Guy In one scene of the March 8 Family Guy episode on FOX network, husband Peter lies in bed, his naked rear exposed. A horse enters and licks Peter’s rear, as Peter moans in pleasure. 'Mmm, what made you come around, Lois (his wife)? I love you so much. I love you so much, Lois,' Peter groans. In the program, Peter warns his family that 'some of the milk in the fridge is not milk, it's horse sperm,' whereupon Baby Stewie eats cereal covered with the 'milk'; Peter’s gay lover greets him with news that he has arranged a gay 'eleven-way' orgy; and Peter helps his son Chris with math homework: 'One trick I used to use is turning things into a word problem. For example, if there are three glory holes in the bathroom at the club and 28 guys at the circuit party, how many rotations of guys will it take before everybody's had a turn? Nine, with a remainder of Brent... Brent can't fit in the glory hole, and that's why we all like Brent.'

I think the giggliest thing here (if not the giggity-giggitiest) is AFA's use of the word 'baby' to make Stewie out to be an innocent infant, as if he didn't gargle with horse sperm every morning. And of course they preface the whole thing with blinking red 'WARNING: EXTREMELY OFFENSIVE' tags; but I have to wonder how many AFA members, upon reading this boycott notice, immediately shoved they hands down they pants, thinking about what they'd do for Brent, in the bathroom at the church club.

I had forgotten...

My new used copy of After Hours, Scorsese's 1985 dark comedy, arrived in yesterday's mail, disguised, once again, as Marathon fodder. I can't remember when was the last time I saw this movie (it appears to have shown THRICE at Movie Marathons, the last one being spring 2003, but I must not have actually watched it then)... Somehow in the interim I forgot how incredible the cast is. Twelve hours ago (pretty much precisely when I pressed Play) I could only have named Griffin Dunne and Rosanna Arquette... oh, and I guess Cheech and Chong; I had completely forgotten about the presence of Teri Garr, Catherine O'Hara, Bronson Pinchot (very briefly), and Linda Fucking Fiorentino! And I guess I didn't know John Heard from Adam at the time.

About 15 minutes into the movie, before anything tremendously bad has happened to Paul (Griffin Dunne's character), I started getting squeamish, wanted to turn it off before the tremendously bad stuff DID start happening. What's that about? Am I getting wimpy in my old age?
