As part of its promotions for Windows 7, Microsoft was set to sponsor an episode of the popular cartoon Family Guy. The episode would be commercial free, but would have ads for Windows 7 included in the material. However, after seeing the episode entitled “Family Guy Presents: Seth & Alex's Almost Live Comedy Show,” Microsoft decided it no longer wanted to be involved in the show. The episode featured jokes on several controversial topics, including the Holocaust and incest. Fox has announced that the show will still air with a different sponsor. Perhaps Apple will attempt to capitalize on this opportunity.

not surprising really, i wouldn't want my product associated with family guy. it used to be kinda funny, but these days the writing is abysmal and it seems like they go out of their way to offend people for no reason.
