'Family Guy' and Microsoft: We Have No Words
,----[ Quote ]
| That's why we were so disappointed this week to
| read that Microsoft has bought a whole 30-minute
| episode of the show -- not commercials during the
| episode, but the episode itself -- to promote
| Windows 7.

NSFW: Why Seth MacFarlane’s Microsoft Guy is the end of television, and the world
,----[ Quote ]
| On November 8th at 8:30pm, viewers of Fox in the
| US will watch in horror as the network gives over
| thirty whole minutes of airtime to a Windows 7-
| sponsored episode of Family Guy.
|
| Just take a moment to let the horror of that fact
| settle in your brain. Multi-millionaire Seth
| MacFarlane – who, by the way, uses a Mac – has
| decided to sell the soul of his flagship show to
| Redmond. For money.

Microsoft's Ad Blitz Targets Wrong Enemy
,----[ Quote ]
| Within the last year, Microsoft(MSFT Quote) has
| been Jerry Seinfeld's pal, a PC, a party planner
| and a 4-year-old girl. It has been a costly
| identity crisis.

Can Jerry Seinfeld save Microsoft?
,----[ Quote ]
| So the question becomes not whether the campaign will stink, but how bad.
|
| I have come up with three possibilities. The kindest one would be "just
| stinks." After that comes "stinks to high heaven," followed by the
| frightful "What are they thinking!?"
|
| [...]
|
| So we'll all await these new messages from Microsoft knowing that they will
| probably not stink to high heaven, but merely just stink.

Microsoft apparently hopes that a "Jackass" can up its hip quotient and
increase market share
,----[ Quote ]
| This came to my inbox this morning from a reader who shall remain nameless. I
| found it sort of interesting.

|
| Perhaps this new campaign is the opening salvo to be launched by Microsoft's
| newly hired advertising agency, Crispin Porter & Bogusky, the "it" agency of
| the moment in the advertising world.

Seth McFarlane may be a talentless whore, but at least he isn't a *cheap*
talentless whore.
