Fox TV being sued over Carrol Burnett parody on Family Guy

[DjfunkmasterG]

I gotta give to Seth and Company for the slap in the face the gave Carrol Burnett, but I do find it quite hypocritical that she is suing a tv show that spoofed her, when she did nothing but spoof people during her days on TV.

No kidding. She should have at least cared that people still give a sh!t and remembered her.

It aired in April of 2006.

What a dingus, she deserves to lose that suit.

Geez, it's only Family-freakin'-Guy, getting all pissed off about something like that is just mega-lame.

Publicity stunt. Bet Carol has some old TV episodes ready to be released on DVD box sets.

Total nuisance suit.
There is no way she will win and it will probably get tossed out before then.
talk about thin skinned

I suggest she get herself a sense of humour and a personality.

Exactly. Deal with it. Family Guy (as well as hordes of other animated shows) make fun of everyone - and they aren't suing. For the love of whoever-you-worship, get a sense of humor.

She's just being a crybaby. Cry me a river, ya wuss. :lol:

These celebrities just piss me off, they carve themselves a career and then whinge when people criticise them. She's constantly in the public eye and therefore knows exactly what to expect. She made her own bed, now she can lie in it.
