 <html>@&lt;span class=&quot;vcard&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://rainbowdash.net/user/17847&quot; class=&quot;url&quot; title=&quot;Matt&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;fn nickname mention&quot;&gt;mrmattimation&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt; I don't know enough about Rush to really care about that. I'm hooked on the show's edginess, but at the same time I kind of wish it either, A) did more than make fun of rape-survivor victim shaming or domestic abuse, for example, or B) avoided seriousness altogether on controversial matters. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The times the show does seem to take itself seriously, it's usually on a stance that's counter to my beliefs. That's alright. I mean I can respect that the writer and I believe differently, but in contrast to the irreverence with which the show usually addresses issues, those serious moments make it seem highly pretentious. I enjoy the humor usually because it makes fun of most views and opinions with a bit of equality. (South Park is better at this.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'd be interested in seeing Seth Macfarlane's attempt at non-comedy. I've heard he's not very popular for it, and that doesn't surprise me.</html>
