Dear Reader:
Family Guy 'Double Dribble' original source video removed from YouTube due to Fox claim (UPDATE)
UPDATE - Family Guy creator Seth MacFarlane has addressed the issue and the mistake has been corrected.
The basketball clip is back up. Was caused by an automated notification by YouTube. You can put down your pitchforks.

Last weekend, Family Guy had two old-school NES jokes. One of them was about Double Dribble, seen above. Now here's where things get really sad. Turns out the creators of Family Guy went on YouTube and grabbed the footage they wanted. Then, once the episode aired, Fox content claimed the original Double Dribble video and it was removed from the internet. Just to be clear hear, Fox/the Family Guy team used a YouTube clip without credit, claimed it as their own and then had the clip removed from YouTube. Man, talk about a slimy move.
