TV Party: Chris Griffin says Hollywood movies are like a visit from an old friend. But does his creator, Seth McFarland, also make his living ripping off and recycling other people’s jokes and ideas? Family Guy Steals emphatically says yes, citing examples of how Charles Schultz (Brian as an ersatz Snoopy), Chris Ware (Stewie as a pseudo-Jimmy Corrigan), South Park (Family Guy’s Grim Reaper is a dead ringer for their Death) and even Louie Anderson get jacked. Can you handle the truth at familyguysteals.blogspot.com?

Junk food: This summer, McDonald’s ran a promotion that gave away itty bitty little toy Hummers in their Happy Meals, along with big posters of their celebrity spokesclown riding in one of those terror-funding behemoths. Some whiney, self-hating vegans have decided to protest this with a wonderful site that allows you to create old-school McDonald’s billboards that say, “New! We Fart On Your Burger” instead of “Over 1 Billion Served” at www.ronaldmchummer.com.
