Family Guy Mentions Armenians!



Yours truly loves the animated show Family Guy, and not only because it dares to explore controversial topics! However, in the act of being so very busy with blogging, ahem, one episode of the show was missed! And what was in that golden episode, you ask?

Well, the Armenian rumor mill suggests that Peter Griffin, pictured, read a list of famous Armenian people, including tennis superstar Andre Agassi. Of course, this is a big deal because it's not everyday that Armenians get such attention in major television shows.

Sure, the famous MadTV skit where Armenians are called thieves comes to mind, but isn't this just a little bit better?

It was actually making fun of the Armenian obsession with 'Famous Armenians'. The dialogue was something like 'I was trying to come up with a list of famous Armenians. I have (lists 3 names). That's it, I can't think of any more'.

It was probably as positive as the Crank Yankers episode where they showed an 'Armenian Bakery/Plumbing Service' sign at a strip mall.

Who said it had to be positive? It's just neat!
