Controversy: Laura Bush Killed a Guy

Written By George | 10 December 2008

The very first episode of Family Guy Season 7 started with Love Blactually, this was back in September 28 on FOX. The episode started with Peter dressed as Laura Bush and throughout the episode he mentioned "Laura Bush Killed A Guy". After nearly 3 months of its release it has only just had media complaints raised about it. As you would expect, it gathered attention from such websites as The NY Daily News, The Inquistr, Associated Content and Right Pundits. When Laura Bush was 17 (1963) it is thought that she drove in to a stop sign, crashed in to another car and killed a friend of hers. This was perhaps not the most sensible thing from Family Guy, but's that's Family Guy for you!
