Stewie is gay and hates "The Office"

Seth MacFarlane, creator of Fox's hit animated comedy "Family Guy" recently outed Stewie Griffin in (of all places) an interview with Playboy magazine.

Stewie -- the one-year old with plans for matricide and world domination -- has always seemed a little confused about his sexuality, as MacFarlane explains:

"Ultimately, Stewie will be gay or a very unhappy repressed heterosexual. It also explains why he’s so hellbent on killing [his mother, Lois] and taking over the world: He has a lot of aggression, which comes from confusion and uncertainty about his orientation."

Of course, I have to ask: How can a baby have a sexual orientation? But I guess anything is possible in a cartoon.

In other "Family Guy" news, a series of new ads have the show taking direct shots at some of the other comedies that received Emmy nominations. After becoming the first animated show in nearly 50 years to be nominated for TV comedy's highest award, it appears they are ready to literally fight the competition.

Of course, fans of the show will recognize that as the famous "where's my money" scene that has been cleverly re-dubbed. And Stewie is probably right about the Indians and Hispanics in Scranton.
