You can, but Family Guy doesn't.  It makes jokes that are racist.

How bad is a show when the best praise someone can muster is that some early episodes surprisingly contain "almost" no racism?

One of my all-time favorite Roger Ebert reviews is his Great Movies review of "The Graduate."  He spends most of the piece complaining about how Mrs. Robinson is infinitely sexier and more interesting than her daughter and Benjamin is an idiot for not hanging on to that ass for dear life.

Having read a ton of OSC (in retrospect, why did I do that?), I'm 90% sure he's gay.  It's not just the homoerotic material; it's the recurring theme of marriage/family as a duty that supersedes personal feelings.

I anticipate cutting-edge references to hairy armpits, burning bras, bloomers, and velocipedestriennes.
