Who are these guys? Part of me wants to believe this site is fake but there's just so much effort put into the site for it to be phony.

So it looks like they're boycotting it because Family Guy made some jokes critical of the President? Sheesh. They better start doing more to protect us from the late night talkshows, SNL, and, well I could go on.

Family Guy? That show was neither funny nor clever. It was garbage. I still wonder why Fox gave it so many chances.
The Critic was horrible too. It also has Futurama which is also awful. If the future is that stupid, I'll be glad that I'm dead.This Hammer sounds like a winner.
Also, lol.
edit: Looking at the site this doesn't look like any major boycott, just a couple of people with extreme sensitivity to satire.

In my head I hear Brian saying "That's hilarious."
That acronym is pathetic. It doesn't even make a word.

And this episode is what, only 3 or 4 years old? Way to be behind the times grouchy organization that will have no effect on Family Guy's ratings.

PABAAH? What kind of acronym is that? Sounds more like some weird foreign chant....
PAAAABAAAAAHHH!! PAAAAAABAAAAAAHHHHH!!!
I am also reading the comments made by Hammer. Only perverted insomniacs watch Adult Swim? :rolleyes:

Aw, who am I kidding? It's a real group of morons. I hate the world.

I don't mean to get politcal, but I really wish people would stop pretending that George Bush is the first President to be made fun of. After Washington left office every damn President, everyone of them has been mocked in some shape or form. Hell Clinton was made fun of in the show too, does anyone remember that?
EDIT: Holy crap, after checking their homepage I'm sure this has to be a joke. I know of a few organizations similar to this one and none of them are close to being this crazy.
EDIT-EDIT: Forums however seem to have very reasonable people though which I find odd.
I just clicked on the link. The URL is down or something, but it re-directed to http://www.sacredcowburgers.com/parodies/something/etc. Take that what you will.

The link works for me and I'm not really sure what to take from the redirected site.

They're kinda like really anal-retentive political fundies.
I got IP banned from their forums (and the entire site) for pointing out Christmas trees had pagan origins. :D

I can't believe some people can be THAT conservative. This is the bunch that Gary Keilor roasts every week.

If those guys are for real, they are awfuly thin skinned.
"OMG! People making jokes about public figures! UNPOSSIBLE! :mad: "
Those dudes need to lighten up. It's just television.

They are definitely real. The head dude lives within 20 miles from me. Type of conservatives that make the rest of us conservatives look bad, although at least they don't kill anybody or set stuff on fire.
We're talking about a group of 10 people or so here. Next.
Hell yeah! All shows that make fun of Bush should be banned!!! :p :rolleyes: :D
:yawn: :yawn: PAAAAAAAAAAAABAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!:yawn: :yawn:

Yeah really these people are nut jobs,also when did FG ever make fun of bush? I rmember them making fun of clinton, but weren't they canceled by the time bush took office?
Also can we incorporate PABAAH into some kind of twisted internet battle cry?
Like when newbies join, every body says, Welcome to Toonzone, PAAABAAAHHH!!!!!!
Also I find this funny, their board has a section called HATE MAIL, and under it it says, say what you want but keep it clean.

Wasn't it Sylvester Stallone who said and I quote "Those who take things too seriously will end up making a parody of themselves!"? Apparently, this guy is just asking to be parodied. :evil:

The Clinton jokes were far more "offensive" than the few made at Bush.
"Ah, what the hell. Come here Hilary." *boob squeeze*

The person who wrote that clearly isn't familiar enough with Family Guy to know that they make fun of EVERYTHING. Both liberals and conservatives. Both gays and straights. All nationalities and religions imaginable. I'm a Bush supporter but I don't care that those jokes were in there, because they had multiple Clinton ones in there too, like when he was shown naked in the oval office. Jeez, get a clue :rolleyes:
Someone call the waaaaaaaaaaaaahmbulance.
PABAAAAAAAH!

In the episode "Brian Wallows and Peter's Swallows", during Brian's big musical number, he displays a series of cards which "fortell" how the world will end. The cards show something like earthquake and tidal wave...and the last one is a picture of George W. Bush with a beer funnel and tube.
That's the only Bush joke I can remember.

Those are the type of people that I would LOVE to just ***** slap the hell out of them. People like that take crap too seriously.
If I remember correctly these guys were profiled on The Daily Show. They appear to be for real.

And all of this about FAMILY GUY?! That's a waste of everyones time.

PAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAABAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!
Man, you're both right. PABAAH will go down in geek history alongside "...all your base," and *****in' about how Megas Season 2 sucked/didn't suck.
Thanks PABAAH. Now if they would only reliaze the irony that the laughter they accidentally give to others is exactly what they need before they croak of a heartache due to stress when they get older-
-THAT, and the supreme irony that if we let ourselves take this too seriously, then we end up as stressed out like them-
-UNLESS they can actually accomplish something with their attempts to incringe on everyone's 1st Amendments rights by restricting TV for all due to their own tastes, then that's going too far.
And yeah, I KNOW, television is CONSTANTLY ruined by these groups who threaten the pocket of the TV execs, while there's little we can do. BUT if they have only 10 people and are extremists, then we don't have worry too much.

Which only serves to make me hate them even more.

Anyway, that site is a mockery of itself. Anyone with 1/3 of a working brain can rationalize that Family Guy is just a cartoon show. These people who take PC so seriously need to be shot out into space and have thier helmets unscrewed when they are in the atmosphere.

Yes it was. When it aired on FOX, the George W. Bush card had Jerry Springer, a former Democratic mayor of Cincinnati, on it instead.

I have a hard enough time tolerating FANS of a show who get pissy about some of its content. I remember someone who said they loved family guy until that gag with the cigarette company execs shooting the poodle. I couldn't not blow up at them. Seriously, when you're offended by what EVIL characters do to BE EVIL, you have serious problems.
Nothing is more offensive than the offendable.
EDIT: Wow. Just wow. I went out of my way to post on their actual forums in a friendly, respectful manner and I was instantly IP banned. All I said was that I don't consider myself a liberal, but I get labeled one for my views. I explained my views, explained that I have no problem with those who think differently, and asked why they would have such a problem with me, then. Now I'm IP banned.
Their incredibly biased, extremely unreasonable hatred towards what they deem "leftist" is just plain creepy. People like this don't deserve america. Behold an ACTUAL quote from their boards:
"Unfortunately, freedom of speech applies to ALL americans"
Pabaah sounds like a skip and a jump away from the KKK.

Both sides have their lunatic fringes. Look at DemocraticUnderground.com for example. You say something even slightly pro-conservative and you're met by a hailstorm of insults followed by a permanent ban.

These guys may be morons, but lets not have people signing up at their forums to preach alternate opinions from this point on . Last thing I want to deal with is some extremist zealot screaming "FORUM INVASION" though his mouth froth.

What? I "preached" NOTHING. I asked an honest question about what they considered "leftist", said nothing that was in itself "leftist", and I am not someone from this forum "invading" their forum...I go to plenty of places other than toonzone, thank you.

Patriotic Amercia Boycotting Anti-American Hollywood?
WTF?
These people are pro-Bush.
and anything pro-Bush is just. really. lame.
Thats so dumb. If Hollywood wants to say something about politics, let them. It makes them look less stupid in the long run.
Buncha ****in low life southern homophobic idiots...
ahh before i get started ranting--
yeah, thats just dumb.
PAAAAAABAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH

You missed my point, I don't want their admins complaining that they are seeing referrals from Toon Zone and all of sudden new folks are on their forums and thus they claim our members were invading their forums.
Whatever, it seems to be a non issue.
Anyway, I think we are done here.
