"Family Guy," "American Dad"
pulled after rampage

Associated Press, by Staff

Posted By:JoniTx, 12/16/2012 8:21:10 AM

NEW YORK- Hollywood has responded to the rampage at a Connecticut elementary school by pulling back on its offerings, and one star says the entertainment industry should take some responsibility for such violence. Fox pulled new episodes of "Family Guy" and "American Dad" that were to air Sunday to avoid potentially sensitive content. The originally scheduled episode of "Family Guy" had Peter telling his own version of the nativity story. The "American Dad" episode told the story of a demon who punished naughty children at Christmas. Both series plan to substitute reruns.

Oh, cry me a river.
Hollyweird is sensitive; as #1 says???

I am sure we are going to see lots of stories about actors leading the anti-gun parades. Just wait.

These cartoons-for-mentally-ill-adults are disgusting. They are coarsening our culture and encouraging bizarre and even dangerous behavior.

By choice, I have not turned on my tv in a year. After the election, I tried a few times to watch "something" "anything" of value and was shocked by the programming and even commercials. Most commercials portray men as jerks. The programs are vile, filthy and coarse. No respect for the individuals anymore. News is no longer reported, it is projected according to the slant of the person speaking.
The tv can sit there like the dinosaur it is. Destroyer of families, destroyer of learning and imagination, purveyor of propaganda and agendas.

Coarsening our culture sells, and makes committed radicals and leftists very wealthy. Neither Barack "Get Revenge" Obama nor the news/entertainment industries will give up the coarsening of our society because they know what enough voters/buyers want to see, listen to and if it can´t be avoided, read.

From Romans: "And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient; Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers, Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful: Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them."

That sums up the evening lineup on Fox, the other major networks, and cable.

This is actually somewhat encouraging. Of course it is the chants of the gun control crowd that are loudest - but it is heartening to hear a few other voices, however faint. Time will tell whether they will last and produce positive change.

Sophomoric humor like that in these programs is meant to be cool, hip, ironic, worldly, and sophisticated, but the actual message is nihilism and contempt for all limits. I don´t think the creators, purveyors and consumers of such material have any idea of what they are really doing. They are just playing everything that is sacred and good for laughs, for viewers, for sponsors, and of course, for dollars.

Jamie Foxx thinks the entertainment industry ought to take ´some´ responsibility for the anger and hatred which is being carefully instructed to our youth through violence in film and video games?
.... Some?

Interesting that Jamie Foxx, the entertainer who recently proclaimed Barack Obama is ´Our Lord and Savior,´ should be the spokesperson against Hollywood´s violence. I would venture to guess he has felt the outrage of his sacrilegious outburst.
.... This must be the´scripted´ act to convince former fans that he is a good person.

Message to conservatives: Don´t let hollywood and its minions dictage on this debate and the CT massacre. They are as responsible as Adam Lanza. Anytime any of these hollywood actors come out condemning the event, we need to remind them their product contributed to it.

The entertainment product (hollywood, music, TV, video games) have polluted the minds of people now for over 50 years.

Any entertainment person now taking the high road is doing so for cover. Any actor or say Jamie Foxx speaking about these souls CT should be reminded how THEY contributed to that event. Don´t let these uneducated parasites try to blame others.

They didnt´ pull the trigger, but Adam got his training from video games and the culture of death thanks to hollywood.

Just as the left blames weapons, we blame cartoons. I am more sympathetic to the argument that the news media profits directly from events such as these and indirectly promotes their recurrence by publicizing them. For far too many, the news media has become reality--the way to judge what is probable and permissible, which may affect the unbalanced. Having said all that, we do not (and should not) order our society around the disordered. The fact the guns help the insane do harm argues for more stringent controls on them, not on me. In fact, America´s decision to let free range lunatics walk among us increases my need to protect myself.

As for cartoons, they had nothing to do with this. I decline to watch some things as a matter of personal taste, but I oppose efforts to dictate such matters on behalf of others. Control the crazies. Leave the guns and cartoons alone.

They will just show these later, that is all.
The public obviously eats up any crass humor that degrades or make fun of Christianity, or anything with Jesus. We are heading towards the last days faster than I thought it would happen. I feel like the last 4 years and the next 4 years are a gallop towards many many long term evil things being put in place.

Responding to a federal appeals court mandate, lawyers for former Enron CEO Jeff Skilling and the U.S. Department of Justice Wednesday reached an agreement that could knock a decade off the disgraced CEO’s 24-year sentence. Skilling, 59, was convicted in 2006 of conspiracy, securities fraud, making false statements to auditors and one count of insider trading in connection with the energy company’s 2001 collapse. The new agreement provides for a jail term of 14 to 17 years and a financial penalty of $40 million. He would be credited for time already served. Skilling’s sentencing is set for June 21

WASHINGTON— Partisan politics loomed over a House hearing Wednesday on the deadly September 2012 attack on a U.S. diplomatic compound in Benghazi, Libya, as Republicans and Democrats clashed over the meaning of testimony from three witnesses who had little new to add to the story. The hearing of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee began with the chairman, Darrell Issa (R-Calif.), complaining that the Obama administration and Democrats on the committee have not supported his efforts to get to the truth. The ranking Democrat, Rep. Elijah Cummings (D-Md.), promptly accused the Republican chairman of politicizing

Benghazi hearings open in the House on Wednesday, and the New York Times printed a preview on page 16 of Wednesday´s edition that downplayed any possible revelations about the Obama administration´s reaction to the terrorist attack, which killed ambassador Chris Stevens and three others.

The State Department’s deputy chief of mission in Libya fought back tears on Wednesday as he delivered a lengthy account of the nighttime terrorist attacks last year that killed Ambassador Christopher Stevens. The first-hand account is the first the Oversight Committee has heard publicly from a witness during its investigation of possible security and intelligence failures in the attack on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, Libya. Testifying before a packed hearing room, Gregory Hicks gave an emotional account of his attempt to secure the State Department’s staff in Tripoli as he relayed messages to the Washington, D.C., operation center

Of the three cable networks, Fox News on Wednesday offered the most substantial coverage of whistleblower testimony on the September 11th terrorist attack in Benghazi. Fox broke in first at 11:36am and has been airing the hearings mostly unobstructed since. CNN followed at noon. Anchor Wolf Blitzer appeared and introduced coverage. The cable network stuck with the testimony for 15 minutes before leaving to feature discussion by Blitzer and Jake Tapper. MSNBC, unsurprisingly, was last. It wasn´t until 12:17pm, after spending copious amounts of time on the Cleveland abduction case, that the network finally showcased the hearings.

Obama administration officials are finally letting the attorney for a Benghazi whistle-blower get a security clearance — but the clearance is at such a low level that it will probably slow the congressional probe of how the administration handled last year’s terrorist attack on the embassy in Benghazi, Libya. Victoria Toensing represents an unnamed government official who can help explain the reaction of top government officials to the jihadi attack on the U.S diplomatic site in Benghazi and killed four Americans last Sept. 11. The official may also be able to explain if officials rewrote intelligence reports

Republican lawmakers, who have spent months seeking to tie President Obama to last year’s deadly attack on the U.S. diplomatic mission in Benghazi, are increasingly focusing their probe on a new target: former secretary of state Hillary Rodham Clinton. The GOP-led investigation of the Sept. 11, 2012, assaults that killed U.S. Ambassador J. Christopher Stevens and three others now centers heavily on the State Department and whether officials there deliberately misled the public about the nature of the assault. Three State Department officials are scheduled to testify before a House committee on Wednesday about the Benghazi attack and its aftermath.

Sanford, who has never lost an election, returns to the 1st District seat he held for three terms from 1995-2001.

There was tragic incompetence, plainly, in the Obama administration’s handling of the Benghazi attacks, and even possibly some political calculation. It is a record that may well come to haunt Hillary Clinton, the first Secretary of State to lose an ambassador in the field in more than three decades, if she runs for president in 2016. But the obvious Republican effort to turn this inquiry into the Democratic (Obama) version of the Iraq intelligence scandal that has tarred the GOP since the George W.

The University of Cambridge released a statement Wednesday indicating that Hawking had told the Israelis last week that he would not be attending "based on advice from Palestinian academics that he should respect the boycott." University officials said they had "previously understood" that Hawking´s decision was based solely on health concerns — he is 71 and has severe disabilities — but had now been told otherwise by Hawking´s office.
