Microsoft yanks Windows 7 sponsorship deal with Family Guy
After Microsoft previously announced they would be sponsoring a Family Guy episode in efforts to promote Windows 7, they have decided to yank the sponsorship. The decision came after Microsoft execs attended the special’s taping on October 16. Upon discovering that the show would “include riffs on deaf people, the Holocaust, feminine hygiene and incest,” the execs decided that “such material was apparently a bit much for Microsoft.”
Although the Redmond Company has dropped out of the sponsorship deal, TheRawFeed [via Engadget] reports that the show will still air November 8th, and will include references to Windows 7. Here’s a preview of what is to be expected:
I wonder if this is the same team behind the Windows 7 Launch Party video…

Actually this is a scene from one of the previous episodes (Ocean’s Three and a Half if I remember correctly). Just the audio is changed but … still it will be freaking awesome to see Stewie playing with Windows 7 xD
What did they expect with FG? I’t's like deciding to advertise during the Superbowl and then finding out it’s about football.
Thank god, I wouldn’t want to be associated with Family Guy either. It’s lazy writing.
