News Corp.’s Fox pulled an episode of the “Family Guy” animated comedy from the Fox.com and Hulu websites after scenes were altered to resemble the Boston Marathon bombings and posted on YouTube.
The episode, “Turban Cowboy,” which aired in mid-March, was taken down, the network said yesterday. Scenes from the episode were combined, showing the cartoon family’s father running over athletes in his car and inadvertently using a mobile phone to set off blasts to win the race.
