Fox has decided to pull a recent episode of Family Guy after a two scenes edited together from the episode seemed eerily similar to the Boston bombings. Creator of the show, Seth MacFarlene addressed the episode writing, “The edited Family Guy clip currently circulating is abhorrent. The event was a crime and a tragedy, and my thoughts are with the victims.”
A Fox spokeswoman said the network had pulled the “Turban Cowboy” episode of the satirical series “Family Guy” from Fox.com and Hulu.com and from being rebroadcast, and that network officials were working with YouTube to take down the edited clips. It was not known who posted them.
The edited video showed two separate clips fused together from the “Turban Cowboy” episode, which aired in March, in which lead character Peter Griffin drunkenly drives over runners in order to win the Boston Marathon.
Later in the episode, in an unconnected storyline, Peter unknowingly becomes friends with an extremist who gives him a cellphone, which Peter calls and explosions are heard.
