The Parents Television Council Seeks Complaints Against 'Family Guy'

The Parents Television Council has asked its members to file indecency complaints against Fox's Family Guy over the Feb 8 episode. PTC is targeting the entire episode, but also a particular scene involving the character Quagmire's trial for statutory rape. The scene did not use any of the words George Carlin made famous, but did include a joke about a sex act involving a frozen condom, and what was in it, that PTC says crossed the line. The act was called a "frosty Jim," whose coining the Urban Dictionary was already ascribing to that Feb. 8 Family Guy episode. More broadly, PTC said, joking about statutory rape "exceeds the community standards for decency."
