The Old Uss

Hi everyone!
 This is going to be a different entry. It is going to talk about how the violence appears now in almost  the cartoons. We are going to use the example of ``Family Guy´´, which is a sexist cartoon broadcast in Fox. The series centers on the Griffins, a family consisting of parents Peter and Lois; their children Med, Chris, and Stewie; and their unusual pet dog Brian.

Peter Griffin is the patriarch of the Griffin household, an Irish-American blue-collar worker. He is an immature, obese, laid-back, outspoken, eccentric and alcoholic.
Lois Patrice Griffin is Peters wife and the mother of Meg, Chris, and Stewie. She is an American housewife who is very flirtatious and she is a drug addict.
Megan Griffin is the 18-year-old daughter. She is a shy, unattractive teenage girl with severely problems of low self-esteem. The family members treat her with contempt.
Christopher Cross Griffin is Peter`s and Lois` 15-year-old child. He is obese and irresponsible.
Stewart Gilligan Griffin is the one-year-old child, but he often behaves in adult ways, such as speaking in British accent. He is a child genius who frequently wants to kill his mother Lois and take over the world.

Brian Griffi is the family´s talking dog and the best friend of Peter and Stewie.  Brian is an intelectual character who often serves to the family as the reason voice, pointing out how ridiculous are the Peter ideas.

The show is set in the fictional city of Quahog. Family Guy revolves around a atypical  family in a atypical  world. At first it looks like it´s funny, but the humour is always out of context and subliminal messages are not educational. Family Guy shouldn´t continue on TV because the values that it shows to the society, especiall, to the children, can transform your personality in a bad way. This is one of the reasons why this days teenagers are more violent.
