Neither show requires you to have a great attention span, but that doesn’t mean you cannot enjoy either of the shows if you have one.
The shows are basically the same characters but the humor in each is completely different. Family Guy tries to make you laugh by spoofing things from pop culture, which includes today as well as much older stuff.
The Simpsons is much more a satire in how they do their shows. They try to show something and are moderately funny. Where as Family Guy really just tries to be funny, but not really mean anything (most of the time).
The Simpsons is for people who have an above average appreciation for humor in all of its incarnations…Family Guy is for people who have hardly any appreciation for humor in each of its forms.
I’ll take the article that was posted at the beginning of this thread as a grain of salt.
Is it ok to like both The Simpsons and Family Guy, or must I pick a side?
Can I enjoy South Park too?
Hell, I even like Spongebob Squarepants. Bugs Bunny reruns are fun too.
I make my stand here. I will not be part of Partisan Cartooning.
So there.

The Iran War Puss-Out. No country has fucked with America more brazenly than Iran has. They took dozens of American hostages in 1979, funded Hezbollah’s suicide bombing that killed 241 Marines, and now kill American soldiers in Iraq. The whole point of invading Iraq was to put Iran in a vise. But guess what? America doesn’t have enough military power to attack anymore. So we issued a National Intelligence Report saying Iran isn’t really such a big threat�?� Just like when Kim Jong Il set off his nukes and fired his missiles, we also pretended it was really not such a big deal. What we really said was, “White flag a-risin’!” Yup, “the world’s only superpower” is too weak, too broke, and too afraid to go to war against a primitive third-rate enemy that literally lives in the Dark Ages. The war against the Axis of Evil is over: two bullshit countries caused America to flinch and scream “Uncle!” without ever having to fire a shot. [/quote]
Without being derogatory, does this sound accurate?

It is presented in a pretty abrasive fashion.
But, I’d say it’s accurate, to see how we went from WE ARE GOIGN TO TAKE DOWN THESE BASTIONS OF TERROR!!!
To…North Korea just blew up nukes. Iran is making them. Venezuela, Iran and North Korea openly and more ardently oppose the United States while…we are too depleted to make any show of force or reaction.
We didn’t cry Uncle but we certainly have depleted our foriegn relations capital. As well as our military clout.
Speak softly and carry a big stick is now…YELL LOUDLY WHILE YOUR HANDS ARE TIED BEHIND YOUR BACK.

I think it’s wrong in its assessment that America won’t engage Iran out of fear. It can’t engage Iran for lack of military and economic resources. Lack of public support (not out of fear either, more of an extreme allergic reaction to too much bullshit) makes it impossible to fix the resource problem by instituting a draft, or by asking people to tighten their belts.
