“Family Guy” creator Seth MacFarlane messed up his one chance hosting the Oscars with a song called “We Saw Your Boobs,” outraging feminists from coast to coast. His image as a creep is only enhanced by the latest Twitter smackdown.
Twitchy reported MacFarlane tried to take a swipe at allegedly oil-obsessed Republicans over the Keystone XL pipeline, and faced an embarrassing accusation by (much younger) Fox News contributor Michelle Fields:

Oh ya. And when I was in high school.

MacFarlane showed up in the latest edition of Glamour magazine promoting his "softer side" and... how he's a "renaissance man" plugging a new Christmas album! (In his case, it's "holiday swing" without one troublesome song about Jesus...It can be the Sinatra-wannabe "holiday" soundtrack for partying atheists.) He sounded very defensive about being a creep around women. Check out the "I have black friends" level of self-defense:
GLAMOUR: Speaking of the Oscars, critics called you crudely sexist for “We Saw Your Boobs,” your opening song about the female actresses who’ve shown their breasts on camera.
MacFARLANE: That’s a pretty serious accusation. [The song] was presented as part of an alternate universe where everything at the Oscars was done incorrectly, [but] the media ignored the context entirely. Comedy and satire being treated with more outrage than actual sexism, racism, or homophobia makes no sense at all....
GLAMOUR: What’s the biggest misconception about you?
MacFARLANE : I’ll never understand the use of the word misogynist. It’s no different than saying somebody is racist. I’m sure a lot of that comes from Family Guy because of its edge, but I am not Family Guy. [!] My manager is a woman, my publicist is a woman, my accountant is a woman. My producer, who runs all of the animated television series and presides over everyone, is a woman. I’m not sure how that label applies given those realities and my personal philosophies.
In other words, "I can't be a sexist, I'm pro-choice! I can sing about seeing your boobs, I have a female accountant and publicist!"
A Seth MacFarlane Christmas album is a perfect match in marketing sillliness with the Pat Boone "In a Metal Mood" album.
