Family Guy Is The Latest Thing Banned In Venezuela

Hopefully Venezuelans are as tired of shows with overweight, oafish husbands telling their hot wives about how some thing reminds them of this other, totally random thing featuring an 80s movie reference as we are because Family Guy is the latest Thing That Is Banned In Venezuela.
Not only was it banned for keeping Seth McFarlane rich, but also because the show promotes drugs to toddlers and everyone who watches will immediately becoming a prostitute demon who aborts baby pandas by eating them:
Stewie Griffin, the animated character from the hit cartoon “Family Guy,” has caused offense here in Venezuela by singing a ditty lauding marijuana’s restorative properties.
The Venezuelan government highlighted the clip as an example of how the U.S. government promotes pot smoking and the legalization of drugs. Venezuela resented a recent U.S. Congress report that said a fourfold increase in cocaine smuggling through Venezuela has been aided by police corruption and a refusal to work with the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration.
Yes, that’s right. Hugo Chavez isn’t to blame for anything - he’s only, what, the country’s leader? - an animated baby is.
Next on Chavez’s list? Soap operas. He believes our “capitalist telenovelas” will teach young boys and girls to, and we quote, “violence, to prostitution, to the loss of values, to smoke cigarettes, to drink rum and I don’t know what else … to drugs.”
He is, as always, absolutely correct. You have no idea how many times we’ve imbibed rum-based cocktails from a rent boy’s asshole after smoking a cigarette in an airport. And it’s all because, if you play any given episode All My Children backwards in a dark room, Susan Lucci tells you to do awful things.

[insert pity, witty comment here]
pithy, not pity…..lol
Chavez: The King of Slippery Slopes.
a couple weeks ago, my mom thought it was just a regular cartoon and let my 9 year old nephew watch Family Guy. All of the sudden she sees some nakedness and says Ay Dios Mio! it was funny.
Hypocrisy to the fullest. I have a cousin that works in Chavez’s communication department and he mentioned that Chavez’s smokes a joint a night to fall asleep because he suffers of mad insomnia due to his paranoia that someone will kill him.
In addition, Venezuela is one of the major importers of drugs into the US and he fully supports it since he is BFF’s with the FARC.
This. Is awesome.
He’s afraid people watching this show will soon realize the main character is much like their leader.
