its remained on the official fox press release site the past few weeks. apparently the plan is to put the finishing touches on the remaining 2 or 3 episodes they have that were almost finished, then after that repeats...It appears those episodes with 5ACX production titles will be all thats played this season if the strike lingers on long enough Grande13 (talk) 00:12, 17 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] "Chinese, Japanese, dirty knees, look at these" Quote removed...

I just wanted to let people know thta I removed the section stating; "This is a direct quote from Rob Zombie's film The Devils Rejects." I have done this because, even though this quote may be in the movie, it was around way before that movie came out (2005), in fact, I remmeber school kids chanting the very same thing back in the 1980's when I was at school, in the same context. So I removed the statement, even though it isn't 100 % incorrect, it does portray false information and a false origin. I hope I have not upset anyone by this... here is a link for proof... http://www.inthe80s.com/rhymes.shtml Cheers ;) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 202.153.209.189 (talk) 04:59, 20 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:FGPadreFamilia.jpg

Image:FGPadreFamilia.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

[edit] Can someone explain this joke?

One of the floats said "veterans of future wars" and showed a bunch of black babies. What message is that supposed to get across? Family Guy is usually left-wing humor, so presumably it's something about how whites screw over the blacks... but conscription is voluntary, so the only way that would be the case is if the message was actually racist against blacks, implying they're too ignorant and poor to avoid military service as a last resort. I seriously doubt that was the point of the joke, so what was it? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.122.63.142 (talk) 17:59, 14 January 2008 (UTC)

I think it's implying that the military is disproportionately black (as a result of black people being poorer and the military being a better choice for poor people than rich people). I don't think it's saying black people are more ignorant. I do think it's saying black people are poorer, but that's not really an insult considering how much of our being rich depends on where we grew up and whether our parents were rich, especially when we're only of military age. The message seems to be that the U.S. treats poor people unfairly, and that this results in a disproportionately black military. 71.123.109.211 (talk) 03:42, 12 May 2008 (UTC) John S.
