Moral Controversy
Controversies have arisen due to the show's use of jokes and satire. The "You Have AIDS" sequence, in which a barbershop quartet sings and dances around the bed of a man with end-stage AIDS about his diagnosis, drew protests from several AIDS service organizations. In his 2006 book The Decency Wars: The Campaign to Cleanse American Culture, author Frederick S. Lane described Family Guy as among several television sitcoms that premiered in the 1980s and 1990s he felt were "aimed at the darker side of family life."

Famous quotes containing the words moral and/or controversy:
“As to moral courage, I have rarely met with two o’clock in the morning courage; I mean instantaneous courage.”
—Napoleon Bonaparte (1769–1821)
“And therefore, as when there is a controversy in an account, the parties must by their own accord, set up for right Reason, the Reason of some Arbitrator, or Judge, to whose sentence, they will both stand, or their controversy must either come to blows, or be undecided, for want of a right Reason constituted by Nature; so is it also in all debates of what kind soever.”
—Thomas Hobbes (1579–1688)
