10 Times Family Guy Went Way Too Far
1. Turban Cowboy
This episode sees Peter become a terrorist and drive his car through the Boston Marathon. Just a month after this aired the tragic bombing occurred at the real life Boston Marathon. Although this is just unfortunate timing, there are many other things wrong with the episode.
It constantly plays up to the stereotype that all Muslims are terrorists. Despite its reliance on shock value it just isn't funny and extremely offensive to minority groups.
Fox would pull the episode following the Boston Bombing, something that was the right thing to do.
