Oh, That Gables Brand…

November 2019

In a recently re-run episode of the adult Fox cartoon series “Family Guy,” the protagonist Peter is talking with Jesus, who in this sacrilegious parody is a store clerk. Peter asks Jesus, “Hey, how come you aren’t with your family during Christmas, anyway?” To which Jesus answers, “I can’t deal with my family during the holidays. And besides, my dad always spends Christmas in his timeshare in Coral Gables with his girlfriend.”They then flash to a high-rise condo overlooking Biscayne Bay, where the white-robed and bearded father (i.e. God) is having a glass of wine with a woman wearing a bikini.
