Boy, that silly old buddy of ours, Comics Alliance leftist Khouri, sure doesn't seem to know what side he wants to take. Case in point: the Simpsons/Family Guy crossover recently featured some repellent jokes, including one about rape, and Khouri decided to say:
He can't be very concerned about women's dignity if he's willing to give these two series a free pass. I got tired of the Simpsons a decade ago, and even before that, there were some very offensive jokes turning up. In retrospect, I've begun to regret I ever bothered, and have no intention of wasting my time on Family Guy, where it's worse. Which brings us to what Khouri's missed, perhaps deliberately. According to Vox, a site which is as leftist as he is, the crossover contained the following:
I bring this up because Khouri commented a few months ago about a case of sexual harrassment on the internet, but if he doesn't see anything wrong with the Simpsons/Family Guy crossover's content, then I'm afraid he leaves room for doubt of his sincerity. Tsk tsk tsk. What will the female staffers at The Mary Sue think of him? Even if they don't say so publicly, chances are they'll still be very disappointed in Khouri. He probably knows that.
On a side note, curious he mentions South Park, which, while not without its own share of badness, did feature a parody involving the Danish Mohammed cartoon controversy. Surely a boy like Khouri who wrote apologia for Islam, a religion incorporating sex offenses into its curriculum, wouldn't have a problem with that? It'll certainly be interesting to know one day what he thinks of Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster for writing a story in Action Comics #30 with Superman facing off against a bunch of Muslim bandits.

So, what has our old friend, the phony comics fan Andy Khouri - whom I'm sure knows quite well Will Eisner was critical of Islam in his last graphic novel - been tweeting recently? Well, here's several from his page in the past week or so: CNN...

Hmm, looks like Comics Alliance's leading contributor is quite a fan of Reza Aslan, one of Islamofascism's biggest apologists: Reza Aslan disassembles the prevailing American idea of Islam and Muslims as congenitally violent and sexist http://t.co/53RbWVLXZb...

Andy Khouri offers up a double standard
Boy, that silly old buddy of ours, Comics Alliance leftist Khouri, sure doesn't seem to know what side he wants to take. Case in point: the Simpsons/Family Guy crossover recently featured some repellent jokes, including one about rape, and Khouri decided to say:
Thought the Family Guy/Simpsons was pretty funny and a good commentary on the fan/media feud between shows. But South Park did it first.
— And DIE, Khouri! (@andykhouri) September 30, 2014He can't be very concerned about women's dignity if he's willing to give these two series a free pass. I got tired of the Simpsons a decade ago, and even before that, there were some very offensive jokes turning up. In retrospect, I've begun to regret I ever bothered, and have no intention of wasting my time on Family Guy, where it's worse. Which brings us to what Khouri's missed, perhaps deliberately. According to Vox, a site which is as leftist as he is, the crossover contained the following:
Look, yes, Family Guy is known for its ultra-violent chicken fights, for its endless repetition of gags that worked at one time, and for gags that go on too long, seemingly just to pad out episodes. But seven minutes of Homer and Peter beating each other up, spreading action-movie chaos throughout Springfield, also featuring Homer biting Peter in the crotch, before he collapses and foams at the mouth? Please no more.No wonder I want nothing to do with Family Guy, and no more to do with the Simpsons. Then:
3) Everybody was mean to Meg againSo, I guess Khouri likes being mean to Meg too, huh? And then, there's:
This is one of Family Guy's longest running gags, and having Lisa befriend Meg made it seem as if the Griffin daughter might finally find a true friend. But the scene concluded with Peter yelling, from offscreen, "Shut up, Meg! You don't matter!" It would be one thing if this gag had ever been funny, but it's just not, and the show keeps turning to it. And Meg's saxophone, the new thing that might bring her joy, got thrown in the trash. Ugh.
6) The casually racist treatment of ApuI would only disagree Apu from the Quik-E-Mart was ever a well developed character. I don't think so. In any case, how fascinating Khouri's at ease with this. We can only wonder what he thinks of Marvel's miniseries The Truth: Red, White and Black.
Whether it was Stewie locking the guy in a cage for a cheap laugh or the line "I come from a country where the word for sewage and beverage are the same," the show treated Apu, a rich, developed character on his own show, like the punchline to a joke told in 1972.
7) Peter and Homer drank gasoline out of the hose after buying far too much, then got turned into a German pornWill the vulgarity in these two series never end?
Yes, this also happened. (Really, this list could just be "everything the show had Peter and Homer do together.")
8) Lots and lots and lots and lots and lots of "politically incorrect" sexist jokesSo it's not just the one rape joke made by Stewie that's a problem. Apparently, there's several more ideas found in the episode that're nothing short of disturbing. IMHO, Khouri just exploited the failure by most sources to note what else the episode featured so he could dismiss the dissenters as mere dummies worried about nothing; typical of some leftards. Even if the rape joke by Stewie wasn't an issue, there's several more problems in this crossover show that make it seriously concerning. Besides, did it ever occur to young master Khouri that there's all sorts of poorly educated mental adolescents out there who could come away with the wrong impression of Stewie's "joke"?
At this point, Family Guy is trying so hard to cheekily offend that it's long since moved past being transgressively funny and past being genuinely offensive. Now, it's just tired when Brian wants to see Lois's breasts, or the show has Stewie make a rape joke in a prank call to Moe's.
I bring this up because Khouri commented a few months ago about a case of sexual harrassment on the internet, but if he doesn't see anything wrong with the Simpsons/Family Guy crossover's content, then I'm afraid he leaves room for doubt of his sincerity. Tsk tsk tsk. What will the female staffers at The Mary Sue think of him? Even if they don't say so publicly, chances are they'll still be very disappointed in Khouri. He probably knows that.
