I was here for a big laugh but left with big disapointment! I agree with Brian Blume, as an army veteran serving 2 combat tours I'm trying hard to think of what honest self-respected American would laugh at the scene with Peter desecrating the American flag. It's obvious that Mark Lambert and any other person who has the same outlook on that scene doesn't know anyone serving or who has served. You don't understand.....its about respect and appreciation for the men and women who have answered the call of duty in the worst of times giving up their time, families, and sometimes their lives for the greater cost of what makes America the great country it is. Im not sure what crowd the WRITERS were trying to entertain but I'm sure they weren't Americans.

So what if peter wipes his behind with the flag. Dont you realize that all of this is a JOKE? If you're so mad, then why dont you stop complaining to us, and complain to the WRITERS!But this was one of the funniest episodes ive ever seen. "gosh, that Italian family at the next table sure is quiet." Funny.

Peter, struggling to find toilet paper, runs to Joe's and asks to borrow the American Flag to wipe his behind.. does this bother anyone else?Does the creator (Seth) have some grudge against our great country or those fighting to protect our freedoms?While I understand that freedom in America includes the right to express that freedom by desecration of the American flag but that doesn't mean I have to like it.I'm disappointed that the writers behind Family Guy felt the need to stoop so low for a laugh, I just don't see the humor especially not when our young men and women are dying in the line of duty during wartime.Seth, you should be ashamed of your actions!
