Hey, it's just as fair a question.

Please fuck off to some teenage forum where your newfound and superior awareness of the world can be truly appreciated by your peers.

Now Family Guy; anyone who can't grasp the genius behind that shit are just plain stupid.

The greatest thing about the show are all the different characters that are all brilliant and funny, each in their own way... and that's what some people like you don't get.

Family guy is also a great and funny show. But less intelligence needed to understand :p They even mention that in a southpark episode... It's just a series of flashbacks... "Whow, i havent had this much fun since that time... -insert joke 845 here-"
But the family guy characters are great though, especially peter and brian :1orglaugh

(Not to knock masturbation, just those rainbow-jumping, sandal-wearing, art-loving pansies).

Just because I MAY think such things, does that make me any less intelligent than those who follow former, prescribed and often made-up critiques of such works that somehow a bunch of other sheep happened to agree with and follow?

Probably.

Why I wrote this post. I don't know. Guess I should start watching South Park, or something. *shrug*

Don't get me wrong. There are certain pieces of art / music / writing / whatever that touch my inner soul as strong as "love" might. For instance, as a young teen in high school, I found a William Blake quote: "He who binds to himself a joy, does the winged life destroy / He who kisses the joy as it flies, lives in Eternity's sunrise". Regardless of the pot and mushrooms I did back then, that quick poem has been very influential in my life, yet I never see it posted or hung anywhere. Another example: I never knew some guy named Banksy existed until some dude named Rand posted a thread about him on this board. Googled the name. Found the website and stumbled across the following hotlinked picture:

http://www.banksy.co.uk/indoors/imag...werchucker.gif
It says to me, make love, not war. I could be totally off on that, because i'm nursing a bloody marie for my hangover.
Why that picture evokes such emotion in me that I hotlink it in this thread, I have no idea. However, I have come to the realization that art, in whatever form, is either based on ONE person's desire for it or ONE person's desire for it based on a group around them influencing that desire.

If you look at Van Gogh's life's work he really was a genius. Whacky, but a genius.
