1 in 3 Brits thinks 'Family Guy' leads BNP

ONE in three members of the British public matched a picture of Nick Griffin (far right), the odious and oily führer of the neo-Nazi British National Party, with the name of Peter Griffin, the protagonist of the TV cartoon sitcom Family Guy.

A money-saving website survey of 1,498 people found more were able to identify a picture of Alex Reid, the new husband of Katie Price (aka Jordan), than recognised Prime Minister Gordon Brown.

Explains a lot.
