A Writer's Cop Out?

I am watching the Family Guy episode right now where Peter wins the golf game with OJ Simpson and realized how lazy the writer's can be on the show. The part I'm referring to is when they cut to Conway Twitty. They do this multiple times throughout the series and not once did I find it funny or useful. There was no point to it and it goes on for way too long to begin with let alone sometimes it seems even longer. I really do think it's an act of laziness on the writer's part. It's like they thought "Damn I have a brain fart at this moment in the episode let's just cut to some country music poster child. Maybe I'm being critical and yes, I know Family Guy is famous for showing random cultural content in episodes but this one just drives me crazy for some reason. Am I the only one who thinks this way? Am I over analyzing it too much? Please someone let me know!

Justice League: War

http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=q3F9ASSsHUk

Take a look at the first trailer for Justice League: War, which in turn is the first video adaptation of a New 52 story, being loosely based off the first arc of the relaunched Justice League comic by Geoff Johns and Jim Lee.

As announced at New York Comic Con, the movie version trades Shazam in for Aquaman and gives some new costumes to the characters (with significant changes to Wonder Woman and Green Lantern, specifically), rather than taking the story directly to animation. It does, however, still feature lots of fighting against the forces of Darkseid (who also has a new, altered look) and Apokolips.
