Seth McFarlane has proven beyond doubt that he is not interested in anything or anyone save himself. This past Sunday's episode of Family Guy has proven it.
The episode was so unbelievably gross it is difficult to imagine that he truly sought to entertain his audience. He simply wanted to insult our decency and intelligence, first by employing such a repugnant storyline, and then by trying to make a statement on the meaning of life (or lack thereof) afterwards. There was no actual comedic purpose to the former, and no worthwile insight on the latter.
He clearly believes that as a Big Cartoon Producer he has the right to say and do whatever he wants, and that it should pass as decent intellectual fare. Or he is snidely playing his audience by going so far off the path of creative entertainment, knowing that they'll watch and praise his avant guarde attitude. Either way, it demostrates not artistic merit or any real concern for the folks in TV land. It is little more than the arrogance of a small mind.

Thank you!
It definitely "demostrates" a complete lack of proofreading and quality.
Proofreading, yes. Quality of argument, no. Good catch on the typo either way.
