** [[Walt Disney]] was not outspokenly anti-Semitic, did not ally himself with the Nazis (and [http://antagonie.blogspot.com/2010/11/disney-sundries-film-that-won-war.html may have actually helped win World War II]), and employed Jews on his staff. Granted, his vision of America was steeped in a conservative and strongly Christian light, and according to [[Wikipedia|The Other Wiki]], the rumors of anti-Semitism sprang up due to his membership in a reactionary filmmaker's organization, but there's no evidence that he himself championed anti-Semitic philosophies. And given how nobody seems to care when the show normally tries to humiliate or kill Mort (e.g., [[Sarcasm Mode|everyone's favorite]] [[Dude, Not Funny|Schindler's List joke]]), why would it be a deal-breaker here for an otherwise-perfect universe? Although...there were a couple Walt Disney Productions that leaned on popular ethnic stereotypes of the time, and [[Sarcasm Mode|thankfully, Family Guy has never sunk that low for a laugh.]]

** Don't forget the "we'd be living in the Future right now if Christianity never existed." Uh, time out, here...<br />1. Christianity actually helped PRESERVE lost Roman sciences and arts during the Dark Ages.<br />2. The biggest cause of the Dark Ages was the burning of the Library of Alexandria by the Muslim caliphate and the destruction of the Roman Empire, both of which set back centralized research and development several centuries.

*** On the other hand, the Muslims preserved a lot of science and advanced scientifically while Europe didn't, and Muslim knowledge came back to Europe during the Crusades, which was what helped lead them out of the Dark Ages.

** In the "People/Dog role reversal universe", apparently what 'breed' of dog you are is completely random, regardless of the 'breed' of your parents. That would be like the coupling of a white man and black woman giving birth to a Japanese baby.
