Impacts of Iraq

It is clear that the war in Iraq has impacted many aspects of pop culture and entertainment. From these I feel that cartoon like Family Guy and the American Dad has been influenced bit more than others. However I want to mainly focus on American Dad and how it has been influenced by the war in Iraq. American Dad is an animated show that focuses around a CIA agent named Stan and his family. It is mainly filled with crude and racial jokes that mainly appeals to the American audience. First of all American Dad was started its premiere in 2003, which is well after the start of the war in Iraq. The main theme of the cartoon is about how it is great to be an American and that the American race is the greatest of all. This encourages patriotic emotions and spirits in its audience. Therefore, it is not very accurate for me to throw this statement out without solid evidences but American Dad might have helped to justify all the events that took place during war in Iraq and even encouraged its young audience to volunteer and fight for their country. The war in Iraq still seems to have a major impact on the new episodes of this show as the theme continues.
