Family Guy Answers Palin

You may or may not have seen the recent Family Guy episode where the character Chris dates a girl named Ellen with Down syndrome. Well, while the two characters are at dinner Ellen makes a joke about Sarah Palin.

Well well well, Sarah Palin and her daughter Bristol just couldn't take a joke and immediately jumped at the chance to be in the news...yet again. Ms. Palin's son Trig just so happens to have Down syndrome and so she took aim at Family Guy saying that the show "really isn't funny" and is the work of "cruel, cold-hearted people". Bristol fired away via Facebook calling the writers "heartless jerks".

Get over it you two media whores (and maybe more than just "media"...wink wink).

One person who decided to break the silence is Andrea Fay Friedman, the 39-year-old actor and public speaker that played the role of Ellen on that show. And oh yeah, she also has Down syndrome.

I guess former Governor Palin does not have a sense of humor. I thought the line “I am the daughter of the former governor of Alaska” was very funny. I think the word is “sarcasm.”

In my family we think laughing is good. My parents raised me to have a sense of humor and to live a normal life.

Look at that...a talented and educated woman with a sense of humor...who actually has something of value to say. Thank you Andrea for bringing us all back to reality. Family Guy is supposed to be funny, so laugh.

That means you Palin ladies. Here is the clip again if you want to reconsider:
