Favorite Equal Opportunity Offenders

The Simpsons have a long tradition of attacking pretty much anybody. One of my favorite attacks is when they attacked both the Republicans and the Democrats in one episode.

The lazy, the fat, the shoe salesmen, chicken-like women. They are only a few.

Well, this one is obvious. While its rival South Park became more about propaganda than comedy, Family Guy continued to be a comedic assault of equal opportunity.

The Postal franchise is the Family Guy of video games. Rednecks, Republicans, Democrats, eco extremists, Al Qaeda and gimps (as in BDSM) are all targets. There is also the Indian convenience store owner stereotype, which is offensive, but at least no group of people is safe from the humor.

The tradition continues into the newest installment. Rednecks continue to be the (apparently) favorite target of the Postal creators. Gingers, survivalists and Chinese restaurants are new targets.

No list of equal opportunity offenders is complete without the master of equal opportunity offensive comedy - the great George Carlin. Even years after his death, he is still the king and probably always will be.

I miss you a lot, George.
