Wow. The above poster is a moron. What I believe he meant was

“So does the US, if I recall correctly. Am I right?”

> I may have dreamed this (and god knows what that means about my subconscious), but I swear on an episode of Family Guy Peter mentions something about the time he saved his friends from some guys. Then it flashes back to him holding a sword and cutting down a guy while the three other buddies are bent over a table with the gags in their mouths. Then it goes back and Peter says something to the effect of, “It’s a shame I got there too late though.” I think this was the episode where Peter tries to hunt down the man eating fish.

You didn’t dream it. It was episode 310 - A Fish Out of Water. And the whole thing (katana, ball-gag and all) is a parody of a scene from Pulp Fiction.

Too bad we seem to be sticking to animated cartoons. There’s always Hustler’s [Chester The Molestor](http://www.dwainetinsley.com/index.php) by Dwaine Tinsley.

I _believe_ the porn cartoon links are at least two pages away. If I screwed up, just disable the link, mods.

I don’t know how I missed that big-assed post. Or **adam yax’s**. Okay.

I got a good one. The pedophile yakuza boss, Matsumoto, from Kill Bill Vol. 1’s anime segment.

OUtside of the Simpsons, there’s the never seen Captain of the tour boat in the Trenton Tar Pits in ATHF.

“Hi! This is your Captain speaking, and I’m a registered sex offender!”

It gets worse from there.

In legal terms, no, it’s not illegal. But go ahead and try it. See if any DA gets it in his head to bust you. I think it would be the equivalent of painting a big bulls-eye on your chest and wandering around an archery range saying, “They’re only supposed to shoot at non-living targets, right?”

There are a couple of Popeye episodes where the whole plot ends up with Olive (apparently) being date raped by Bluto and Popeye coming to the rescue.

Any caveman appearance, pre-1960, in a cartoon involved the woman being conked on the head and dragged by the hair into a cave.

Bugs and that Robot Lady Rabbit (know what I am referring to?) he basically tells us in the end he doesn’t care that he has a living love doll/stepford wife: “Okay, so she’s mechanical!”

How about Carl from Aqua Teen Hunger Force. I mean, any guy that keeps a life sized cut out of a beer ad girl for his girlfriend and tries to marry a mail order bride has to qualify.

It can actually happen. In Pinellas County (across the bay from Tampa, where I live), in 1994, Mike Diana was convicted of obscenity for his very disturbing underground comic book, _Boiled Angel._ And, incredibly, the conviction was upheld on appeal. You can read the story here: [http://www.cbldf.org/casefiles/diana.shtml](http://www.cbldf.org/casefiles/diana.shtml), [http://www.wired.com/wired/archive/3.01/eword.html?pg=4](http://www.wired.com/wired/archive/3.01/eword.html?pg=4), [http://www.impactpress.com/articles/junjul99/artcensr6799.html](http://www.impactpress.com/articles/junjul99/artcensr6799.html) – and an interview with Diana here: [http://clients.streams.com/brian/96/1/static.diana.html](http://clients.streams.com/brian/96/1/static.diana.html)

Quagmire in Family Guy is also a registered sex offender. In one episode he almost invokes Megan’s Law.

Of course, we all know that Family Guy is known for it’s continuity and never uses throw-away jokes.

I did not mean to imply that you did. I was just pointing out that this was one of those cases where something is so unpopular that strict legality doesn’t mean a whole hell of a lot. They’ll make up laws or stretch existing laws to get you, if they have to.

Two guys were having a conversation about this:

Second guy: No, I said he sleeps with the fishes.

If the [teletubbies](http://www.commonplacebook.com/humor/gay/tinky.shtm) count and Jerry Falwell is correct …

If not, then how about [Jack Chick](http://www.weirdcrap.com/chick/)? Which characters are the most perverted is of course an exercise I leave open to the viewer

I must have seen every episode at least three times, yet have no recollection of this joke. Perhaps I missed or forgot it. Anyways, which episode is it in?

Ok, thanks. I just looked up a transcript and found the reference. No wonder I missed it, I was unfamiliar with Megan’s law.
