Sample Entry:

This ridiculous story only proves my point. Two weeks ago it was announced that Microsoft had made a deal with Seth MacFarlane to produce an hour-long, commercial-free TV spot featuring Family Guy characters to promote Windows 7. Today, they’ve backed out:

"The company had originally signed on to tie Windows 7 to an uninterrupted half-hour episode of the show known as Family Guy Presents: Seth and Alex’s Almost Live Comedy Show that airs November 8th but now says the material it saw in an early cut is ‘not a fit with the Windows brand’ and will leave any Windows 7 advertising to a 12-week Family Guy-related tour."

Clearly, whoever gave this the green light has never seen an episode of Family Guy. Off-color humor is the thrust of the show. I don’t understand that they’re thinking in Redmond.
