Seth MacFarlane Taking Family Guy from behind

Here are a few inevitable things that really annoy me in life; cool unknown bands becoming popular, death and people fucking selling out.

In an attempt to imitate the success of their recent campaign to raise awareness of Bing, Microsoft are using the same tactics to flog their new Windows 7 operating system, by sponsoring a Family Guy themed variety show called “Family Guy Presents: Seth & Alex’s Almost Live Comedy Show”.

*Head in hands*

According to Advertising Age it will be an “all Seth MacFarlane night”, with Gayle Troberman, general manager of being a douche-bag at Microsoft adding that “You’ll see us deeply integrated into the content … you’ll hear a lot about how Windows 7 can help you simplify your PC — it’s simple, fast and easy to use.” Which translates in my head as “You will see us deeply integrating our massive advertising cock into your favourite TV programme”.

*Deep sigh*

Where once Family Guy may have been the show to ridicule and parody this blatant product placement, they have now become the establishment and have lost all credibility in the process. Below is their latest attempt integrate Windows humour into a sketch, I think you will agree it is the worst thing to happen to your brain since Milli Vanilli.

Not satisfied with creating the worst operating system ever, Microsoft seem set to do the same in advertising. I do hope they are being ironic in this Microsoft 7 ‘Party’ advert.

Why yes I will go to the website and download an activity sheet for me and my demographically engineered group of friends to get involved in. Let’s hope it consists of drink, drugs and fucking cause that is sure as hell going to be a lot more fun than installing a dubious operating system.

Parodies are coming in thick and fast.
