Family Guy is copying us?

I don't think that they're intentionally copying Tapped Out -- well, beyond being an app game featuring a syndicated family rebuilding their fictional town -- but I do get a sense of one-upmanship between the two games. For example, when the Stonecutters event (June 3rd) gave us a silent Number One (originally voiced by Patrick Stewart), the Family Guy game gave players a Patrick Stewart that was not only voiced, but voiced with original material (July 24th). Also, when red tape made EA unable to use Futurama characters in November during the "Simpsorama" event the Family Guy game gave players the principle cast of American Dad, which currently airs on TBS.
