In my opinion, the animated TV show, American Dad is the "in" animated TV show to go to. The Simpsons were the "in" animated program 20 years ago. That show is on life support. American Dad is fresh, funny and weird, which is everything that I live for.

Stan is the patriarch and is ultra-conservative. Being an ultra-conservative and the butt of most of the jokes ranks the program high in my book. Anytime that you can make fun of an ultra-conservative - GO FOR IT. Trouble is, conservatives usually don't understand it. Right over their small-brain-cavity heads.

Stan works for a spy agency, and has an alien living in his attic. A space alien, that is. He also has an ex-human that was transformed into a fish, that is living in a fishbowl, which is usually sitting wherever the rest of the family is sitting. The fish bowl  just seems to move by itself. The fish is able to speak English with a German accent. A typical suburban household.

Stan's daughter is an ultra-radical liberal who likes to wear clothes emblazoned with peace signs.

Mucho Macho Stan also has a son. Unfortunately for Stan, his son is not Mucho Macho.

With all of the weird characters interacting with each other, there is only one thing that I can say - COMEDY ENSUES.

A local TV station (WCIU) recently started to carry the reruns of the show. To advertise the new program, they placed a weird billboard that has a picture of Stan wearing an incredibly skimpy outfit. The skimpy outfit is done in a red, white & blue star-spangled theme.

It would be apropos for Stan to wear something emblazoned with red, white & blue, along with stars and stripes. I mean, he is an ultra-conservative who feels the need to promote his love for his country. Insecure about his feelings, I think so. Freud would have a field day examining Stan, and / or, any real life ultra conservative. No logical thought process.

Atypical for Stan would be for him to wear an outfit which barely covers his you-know-what.

The billboard caption says "Chicago Is Getting A STIMULUS PACKAGE"
