THAT'S why Trump dismissed Rachel Uchitel? I thought he kicked her of Celebrity Apprentice because it was called CELEBRITY Apprentice.
How is the Family Guy episode about abortion infamous? Was it actually funny? Because that would be the most shocking thing Family Guy could do.
I doubt it was funny. Remember when they first banned the episode where Peter sings "When You Wish Upon a Jew" (or maybe the episode was called that - I don't remember)? Once that aired, not only wasn't it really offensive, but it wasn't even funny!
