Hal G. P. Colebatch, in Return of the Heroes, observed that “the arts not only mirror social and cultural values, but are powerful forces to shape lives and behaviour.”
When Barack Obama was elected president in 2008, he vowed to “transform” America. And indeed he did. Like their man Obama, the Left have been “transforming” America by perverting, polluting, degrading pop culture, pop entertainment, and pop music, among which are cartoons, now called “animation.”
Gone are the days of truly inventive and funny cartoons like Bugs Bunny and Wile E. Coyote of Warner Brothers’ Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies. In their place are unfunny “adult animation,” the most puerile of which is Fox Broadcasting Company’s Family Guy — an animation sitcom created by the vile Seth MacFarlane, about the Griffins, a family consisting of a mom, an obese dad named Peter, 3 children, and their pet dog Brian who talks and spews obscenities.
Family Guy has opened a new vicious front on the War on Christmas and on Christianity in America with a Christmas-themed episode last Sunday night titled “The 2,000-Year-Old Virgin” that portrays Jesus Christ as a sex-crazed adulterer.
Billy Halloway reports for The Blaze, Dec. 8, 2014, that “The 2,000-Year-Old Virgin” is about Peter Griffin and his friends trying to help Christ lose his virginity, according to Christian Today.
“After running into Jesus at the Quahog Mall, Peter is stunned to discover that the Son of God is still a virgin,” reads the episode’s synopsis. “So, he enlists Quagmire and Cleveland to help him throw Jesus the best birthday ever by finding a way to help him become a man.”
At one point during the episode, Jesus told Peter he wants to lose his virginity to Peter’s wife, Lois — a request that Peter agrees to in exchange for a massage chair.
“Look Peter, I know it’s a lot to ask, but if it wasn’t okay I wouldn’t suggest it,” Jesus said while trying to convince Peter to agree.
Later, while speaking with her husband and considering Jesus’ request, Lois said, “The son of God’s first time should be special.”
In the end, Peter and Lois change their mind and decide against the plan after it is revealed that Jesus tricks husbands every year into allowing him to sleep with their wives.
Clearly, the episode was intentionally filled with themes and comments that many Christians would find offensive — a fact that was openly admitted in one scene, as the shows creators poked fun at those they knew would be uncomfortable with the subject matter.
And if there’s any question about the episode’s intention to spark controversy during the holiday season, consider the single line that accompanies its description on the “Family Guy” website. It reads: “Happy Birthday, Jesus.”
