Microsoft Nixes "Family Guy" Sponsorship

So, Nobody at Microsoft Marketing Knew What to Expect?

The special reportedly contained jokes about deaf people, the Holocaust, feminine hygiene and incest. In other words, it was just like a regular "Family Guy" episode.

A 30-second ad during "Family Guy" costs about $214,750. Buying an entire half-hour special during sweeps doubtless put the Microsoft deal into the millions

Family Guy not politically correct... That must have been an enormously big and enormously heavy rock to have been under it for the last 10 years..

Nice. Its good to see that some people can still take a joke. If your offended then just leave the room and go watch something else

I was watching Mail Call to, had a couple hours to kill.

People are my school are pretty easy to get along with. Most of my classes look like the UN, so I guess no one bothers to get offended since its not that hard.

You just know that the Family Guy team is putting together a last minute addition to this Sunday's episode where Peter will turn to the camera and say "Microsoft Sucks" and then go on with the episode.
