Family Guy Boston Marathon episode pulled from websites...

Fox has pulled a recent episode of Family Guy from its websites that depicted people being killed at the Boston Marathon.

The television network says it has no plans to air it again soon.

Fox spokeswoman Gaude Paez said the episode had been removed from Fox.com.

In the episode, main character Peter Griffin has a flashback about crashing into runners with his car and making friends with a terrorist plotting to blow up a bridge.

When Peter, who is voiced by Seth MacFarlane, dials a mobile phone a friend has given him, explosions and screams are heard in the background.

The episode was originally aired on 17 March in the US.

On some websites in America, an edited clip has been circulating that mixes the two scenes together, making it seem as though the explosion was at the marathon. Full story...
