Government officials in Venezuela have threatened TV networks with fines and penalties if they do not remove Family Guy from their schedules.
The region’s Justice Minister Tareck El Aissami claimed that the US animated show advocates drug use, Contactmusic reported. Well yes.. we can see where that might be problematic.
The government selected one episode of the series which sees the characters champion the legalisation of marijuana. Authorities said yesterday that they would financially penalize network bosses who ignored the ban and didn’t remove the show from their networks.
Is it just us, thinking that … with guys like Hugo Chavez hanging around in the Venezuelan real world, don’t you think it might be better to ban them and leave Stewie and company alone?
