Dystopian: /* Peter Griffin */

'''Family Guy''' is an animated television program created by Seth MacFarlane with adult themes. It details the life of "the Griffins," a fictitious family who live in Quahog, [[Rhode Island]]. It has similarities to [[The Simpsons]] which have been referenced and parodied on both shows.

== Criticism ==

Due to its explicit content, the Parents' Television Council has named it one of the worst programs on television. <ref>[http://www.parentstv.org/PTC/publications/reports/top10bestandworst/main.asp Parents' Television Council]</ref>

The show also has a pervasive liberal bias. One demonstration of this can be seen in regard to a demeaning treatment of [[creationists]].<ref>[http://www.answersingenesis.org/us/newsletters/0107lead.asp Answers in Genesis]</ref>

The comedy aspect of Family Guy's writing has been criticized by the writers of South Park. One two-part [[South Park]] episode called Family Guy's jokes "irrelevant to the plot." The episode also showed Family Guy's writers as [[manatee|manatees]] who would put balls containing random ideas into a machine.

Diana, Princess of Wales

2008-04-07T19:14:49Z

Dystopian: inquest verdict

[[Image:Diana.jpg|left]]
'''Diana, Princess of Wales''' (1961-1997) was the divorced wife of [[Prince Charles]] the [[Prince of Wales]], heir to the throne of the [[United Kingdom]]. She was killed in a motor accident in [[Paris]] on 31 August 1997. She was the mother of [[Prince William of Wales]], heir-presumptive to the British crown, and Prince Harry.

She was born Lady Diana Frances Spencer, daughter of Viscount Althorp (later the 8th Earl Spencer) and his wife, Frances (Mrs. Frances Shand-Kydd). After an undistinguished private schooling she worked as a nursery school teaching assistant.

She married Prince Charles on 1981 at [[St Paul's Cathedral]], [[London]], and gave birth to Prince William in 1982 and Prince Harry in 1984. However, the marriage was troubled and the Prince and Princess separated in 1992; they were divorced in 1996.
[[Image:Ritz.jpg|right|Hôtel Ritz Paris]]
In 1997 Diana was holidaying with her lover Dodi Fayed, son of the controversial businessman [[Mohammed al Fayed]]. On 31 August the couple dined at the Ritz Hotel (owned by al Fayed) before leaving by car for Dodi Fayed's Paris appartment. While travelling at speed (eluding the paparazzi) through the Pont d'Alma underpass, their car crashed. Dodi Fayed (42) and the driver, Henri Paul (41), were killed instantly; Diana (36) died some hours later in hospital; a bodyguard survived. It was later found that Paul was over the blood alcohol limit for driving. Despite this, conspiracy theories have flourished about the incident, the most flamboyant being that the [[Duke of Edinburgh]] ordered the British security service [[MI5]] to have Diana and Dodi murdered, to prevent her giving birth to a Moslem child (though she was not pregnant at the time of her death). Such theories are fostered by Mohammed al Fayed and by the British daily newspaper the [[Daily Express]].

Lady Di was buried on 6 September 1997. Her grave is on an island in a lake in the grounds of her family home (Althorp House, [[Northamptonshire]]).

In April 2008 an inquest jury in [[London]] disregarded all conspiracy theories and found that Diana and Dodi Fayed had been unlawfully killed by Henri Paul and the pursuing photographers.

The '''River Tweed''' is a river of northern [[Britain]], which forms the border of [[England]] and [[Scotland]] for part of its length. It is 156 kilometres (97 miles) long and rises on Tweedsmuir in south-western Scotland, the moor being the watershed of the Tweed, Annan and [[Clyde]] river systems. Flowing northwards and then eastwards it passes through [[Peebles]], [[Melrose]] and [[Kelso]]. Shortly before [[Coldstream]], which lies on the north bank, the river becomes the Anglo-Scottish border for some 27 km. A little way west of [[Berwick upon Tweed]], the river enters England for a few short miles; it flows into the [[North Sea]] at Berwick. It is a noted sporting river, particularly for its [[salmon]] fisheries. At Paxton, west of Berwick, it is crossed by the [[Union Bridge]], the oldest suspension bridge in Europe, and at Berwick by the Royal Border Bridge, a magnificent railway viaduct designed by [[Robert Stephenson]] (the name is misleading as the river does not form the border at this point). Several other handsome bridges span the river.

The woven woolen cloth known as 'tweed' has no connection with the river name, but is a corruption of 'tweel' ('twill').
