Vomiting, Pedophilia, Genitalia – Brought to You by McDonald’s!
This past Sunday night, Fox’s raunchy cartoon Family Guy – which airs at 9:00 p.m. ET/PT, only 8:00 p.m. in the Central/Mountain time zones -- exposed millions of children to another raunchy episode. (See content under tabs below.)
Two years ago, the PTC named McDonald’s one of the “Ten Best Advertisers of the Year” for sponsoring family-friendly programming. Now, the company that wants to sell your children Happy Meals is showing them men vomiting into each other’s mouths, allusions to anal sex, graphic references to women’s private parts, and jokes about pedophilia.
If YOU are disgusted by McDonald's sponsoring this sick program,

Below is some of the dialogue from this episode of the Family Guy:
Charmese is examined by a gynecologist. Her legs are up on the stirrups as the doctor dons spelunking gear.
Doctor: “All right, I'm going in. If I tug on the rope twice, that means pull me out.:
Squishing noises are heard. The nurse holds the rope that disappears into her crotch, which is covered by a blanket.
Doctor: “God, who are the pigs who just throw their empty beer cans down here?”
--------------------------
Charmese demands Peter and Quagmire prove they are gay.
Charmese: “Enough! Kiss each other.”
Peter and Quagmire kiss, trading vomit from each other's mouths. They strip one another down to their underwear.
Quagmire: (sobbing) “Me, too. Your body makes me so horny.”
Peter turns his back to Quagmire:
Quagmire: “It's very close, Peter. The paint brush is about to touch the canvas.”
--------------------------
A pedophile yells at his mother.
Pedophile: “Hey, ma. We got any pictures of me when I was a kid? Maybe something in a tub?”
--------------------------
Lois talks to Charmese.
Lois: “Are you and Glen thinking about children?”
Charmese: “Unfortunately, I can't have children.”
Lois: “Oh, menopause?”
Charmese: “No, I got knifed in the vagina one Christmas.”
LETTER TO McDONALD'S
Dear Ms. Proud:
On January 27, 2013, McDonald’s ad dollars helped pay for the vile and disgusting content on Fox's Family Guy. In this episode, Peter and Quagmire are shown vomiting into each other’s mouth, and then proceed to swallow it. Quagmire then implies that the two are about to have anal sex when he says: "The paint brush is about to touch the canvas." In the same episode, a gynecologist wears spelunking gear to conduct a vaginal examination.
Beyond the harm you are doing to your hard-earned corporate image and brand by associating with this content, studies have actually shown that viewers are less likely to remember advertisements when they appear in programs with high levels of sexual content and violence.
So the question you should ask yourself is why you would waste your ad dollars paying for this kind of content.
Is Family Guy an accurate reflection of your corporate values? Family Guy often displays graphic vomit scenes in their episodes. We feel sure you’ll agree that associating your food-oriented corporate brand with scenes of vomiting is not in the best interest of your bottom line.
We ask that you reconsider your sponsorship of this program until such negative and harmful content is no longer part of FOX’s schedule.
And if this content is in line with your corporate values, my family and I will take that into consideration the next time we’re trying to decide where to eat out.
