Becuase Everything Else Sucks

Family Guy – Lois Runs for Office. Pretends 9/11 Changed Everything

In these Family Guy clips from the episode “It Takes a Village Idiot, and I Married One,” Lois exercises her right wing, and finds out that fear sells just as well as sex. If she’d only added a few phrases like “I hate Hillary Clinton” or “I’d love to hump Ronald Reagan’s corpse” then the clip would’ve been completely identical to the first Republican debate.

At a time when the common Western citizen is fatter and more secure than any other citizen of the world, it’s incredible to think that playing on our fears would be so successful. America and Israel have used security concerns to justify their criminal activity for decades while the actual threat terrorism poses to either nation is over-exaggerated at best. For example, Israelis live in constant fear of Qassam rocket attacks, despite the fact that Palestinian rockets have only killed a total of 11 Israelis since 2001.

Lois even references yellowcake uranium during her fiesta of lies. Luckily for us, Family Guy isn’t afraid to show how politicians exaggerate or completely fabricate threats in order to control the public and serve their own interests.

  1. “At a time when the common Western citizen is fatter and more secure than any other citizen of the world, it’s incredible to think that playing on our fears would be so successful.”

    Incredible? Hardly. The converse of Dylan’s famous lyric applies: Those with everything have the most to lose.

  2. Touché.

    We should have a battle of the quotes. Aung San Suu Kyi, an activist and Nobel Prize winner from Burma, once said; “It is not power that corrupts but fear. Fear of losing power corrupts those who wield it and fear of the scourge of power corrupts those who are subject to it… Fear is not the natural state of civilized people”

  4. […] that we couldn’t have imagined on Sept 12, 2001 - 7 years without a single terrorist attack. 9/11 has become a joke to you and your supporters, the heartbreak and helplessness this nation experienced during that day […]

  5. It’s interesting that you state
    “Israelis live in constant fear of Qassam rocket attacks, despite the fact that Palestinian rockets have only killed a total of 11 Israelis since 2001″
    I would have said-
    “Israelis live in constant fear of Quassam rocket attacks, because they have murdered 169 Arab civilians including 54 young children since 2001, and they’re expecting what they deserve. Of course the United States not only refuses to condemn their actions but actively encourages the massacres by arming and training the illegal terrorist state, which leaves many Americans also fearful that what goes around comes around”.

    But don’t worry Obama will save the day, he wouldn’t dream of letting the Israeli’s get away with their genocidal plans. He wouldn’t appoint some psycho racsist zionist like Rahm Emanuel, to White House Chief of Staff… Oh shit there goes the world.
