And that’s why no one buys their operating system!
Because they’re a bunch of out-of-touch, old fogies who can’t take a joke!
Microsoft yanked its sponsorship from Fox’s Family Guy Presents: Seth and Alex’s Almost Live Comedy Show due to content concerns!
Uh, what the eff did they expect?!
The variety special was announced earlier this month as part of a promotional partnership between several News Corp. properties and the launch Microsoft’s Windows 7 operating system.
In order to make the sponsors happy, the Almost Live Comedy Show was to be commercial-free with Microsoft marketing messages pitched by Seth MacFarlane and Alex Borstein themselves.
And they got their politically incorrect revenge!
The actors made typical Family Guy jokes including riffs on deaf people, the Holocaust, feminine hygiene, incest and an eyebrow-raising segment as Latino housekeepers!
Aye yay yay!
“We initially chose to participate in the Seth and Alex variety show based on the audience composition and creative humor of Family Guy, but after reviewing an early version of the variety show, it became clear that the content was not a fit with the Windows brand,” said a spokeswoman for Microsoft.
Maybe AARP or TV Land would be a better fit?!
