FAMILY GUY - FAMILY GUY OPTS OUT OF SPEARS CAMEO

FAMILY GUY OPTS OUT OF SPEARS CAMEO

FAMILY GUY creator SETH MCFARLANE decided against featuring a cameo appearance from BRITNEY SPEARS in the hit show - because he feared a retaliation from rival cartoon series SOUTH PARK. Spears was mocked for her personal problems in an episode of South Park last year (08), while MCFarlane's hit show also took a battering.
The pop singer reportedly offered to lend her voice to an retaliatory installment of Family Guy, but the creator subsequently scrapped the idea - because he didn't want to start an onscreen battle with South Park writers Trey Parker and Matt Stone.
MCFarlane says, "That would do more harm than good. (It) would take too much work."
