54. That's
That's why I said the title is a bit misleading because they in no way mock the disabled but more Sarah Palin. The girl with down syndrome is the bully and Chris even says in the end you are just like the rest of us A-holes. How is comparing someone with down syndrome as being just like us mocking them? I think if people actually saw the clip rather than respond to the what the OP at Huffpost wrote would clearly see they are wrong being offended at the character. I see it different. I see Chris finding the girl with down syndrome pretty and wanting to ask her out s being anything but mocking the disabled.If you don't like Family Guy or get the humor,that's fine. It's clearly not for everyone. However,to attack Family Guy for creating a character who has down syndrome who acts like the rest of us is just not true. I suggest everyone to watch the clip before making any final decision. Or better yet,watch the entire episode to see how this character with DS is portrayed. Some of the comments to the OP at Huffpost are saying the same thing. The title is misleading. I would change it but I want people to see the clip and judge for themselves
