	Ø Dysfunctional Family Ø
		Dysfunctional Family Circus As I am now approaching the grand old age of 49, I have determined that the concept of the dysfunctional family is not an extreme dynamic, but rather a common one.
		Dysfunctional Family Feud They were trying to purge the poor little girl of nonexistent malign spirits, when what she was probably afflicted with is an insane family.
		A dysfunctional family is a family in which conflict, misbehavior and even abuse on the part of individual members of the family occur continually, leading other members to accommodate such actions.

	Dysfunctional Family Circus - Education - Information - Educational Resources - Encyclopedia - Music (Site not responding. Last check: )
		The Dysfunctional Family Circus is the name of several long-run parodies of the syndicated comic strip The Family Circus, featuring either Bil Keane's artwork with altered captions, or (less often) original artwork made to appear like the targeted strips.
		Recurring themes included incest and child abuse jokes, and the caption "I have no legs", originally posted on an image in which the character's lower half was cropped, was later applied ad nauseum regardless of the image's actual content.
		In his closing statement, Galcik said while he believed that Dysfunctional Family Circus was legally protected parody, he had developed a grudging respect for the long and continual effort by Bil Keane.

	Philosophy #100: Dysfunctional Families... Like Yours!
		The fact is, every family teaches only one provincial language, and there are always ways that it can be unhealthy and traumatic and that kids can react badly to it.
		For example, imagine a family that meets all the cultural ideals: a two-parent household with a mother and father who have been together since the beginning of time, financially and emotionally stable, living in a nice part of town where the children are protected and all seems to be right in the world.
		The family may try to insulate the child by sending him to the best schools, bringing him into the family business or protecting him when he makes mistakes, but ultimately this is a distorted reality that might not do the child any favors.

	Arts & Leisure: Family Circus Man (Tucson Weekly . 06-01-99)
		I think that the world's "cool" people love "the Circus" for the same reasons that they loved "Nancy" (back when Ernie Bushmiller did it): For one, it's almost always one of a set of five standardized non-gags; and two, it's not funny in almost exactly the same way that real life isn't funny.

	SpinnWebe - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In 1995, Galcik started the SpinnWebe version of Dysfunctional Family Circus (DFC), an interactive Family Circus parody where visitors were invited to submit alternative captions for the widely-syndicated Bil Keane comic strip.
		Fans of the DFC claim that this editing process helped maintain a higher standard of humor that other Family Circus parodies could not reach.
		Reportedly, Bil Keane was initially unbothered by the parody, but he began to become uncomfortable with it due to the prevalence of blue humor in the published captions.

	The Quiet Family Movie Review by Anthony Leong from MediaCircus.net
		In his 1998 filmmaking debut "The Quiet Family (Choyonghan kajok)", "Foul King (Banchikwang)" director Kim Ji-woon presents an inspiring story about how a crisis strengthens the bonds between the members of a dysfunctional family, bringing them closer together in a rare display of domestic solidarity.

	The Comic Strip Doctor - Recontextualization
		Popularly known as "The Dysfunctional Family Circus," the iconic circular comic about a family of saccharine know-it-alls began to appear with tasteless, irreverent and outright vulgar captions in 'zines decades ago, eventually migrating to Usenet and, later, the World Wide Web.
		It's a one-note joke that's relatively funny nonetheless; like The Dysfunctional Family Circus, it relies on the disconnect that occurs between the source material -- and the expectations the reader brings to it -- and the caption.
		While the DFC subverts the convention that The Family Circus is wholesome, cutesy, and non-racist, The Nameless Dread has the Circus's typically mealy-mouthed, borderline-retarded children reciting what is perhaps the English language's most dense epic poetry.

		SpinnWebbe and the DFC embodied the worst of the filth and evil that the internet has to offer, and the ‘net is a better place without them.
		The DFC creators would post several Family Circus cartoons every week, without the attached captions, and sick-minded websters would post crude and inappropriate captions of their own under these cartoons.
		While the ridding the world of the DFC was surely a move in the right direction, Keane has not cut to the root of the problem.
