Fox has pulled a recent episode of Family Guy depicting mass deaths at the Boston Marathon.
The episode shows the main character, Peter Griffin, striking runners with his car.
A later scene has Peter unknowingly befriending a terrorist who’s plotting to blow up a bridge; when Peter dials a cell phone, screams and explosions are heard.
A video circulating the internet had combined the two scenes, making it appear as if the explosion was at the marathon.
Family Guy creator Seth McFarlane expressed anger over the edited clip Tuesday on Twitter, and offered his condolences to the victims of Monday’s bombings.
