Freud who?

In Peacocke's essay, Family Guy and Freud, she attempts to prove that, although crude at times, Family Guy satirizes American values in an honest and effective way. She seems to be younger, and uses a more friendly tone. Mostly, she uses a good amount of outside sources, as well as examples straight from the Family Guy script. She chooses excerpts that further her argument and help legitimize her ethos. This is very effective. Another effective measure she take is to plant naysayers, such as statements made by Carol Burnett when she sued Family Guy for the use of her image. One attempt she makes that simply fails is her title. She tries to draw in readers with an interesting title, then she writes little to nothing about Freud. He is rarely mentioned.
