Microsoft Pusses Out on Family Guy Special
9:55AM Matt Buchanan | Microsoft’s involvement in the Windows 7 Family Guy hackathon is cancelled. Family Guy’s writing team pulled out one too many idea balls about incest, the Holocaust and feminine hygiene, making it “not a fit with the Windows brand”. More »

Family Guy Windows 7 Clip Isn’t All That Exciting
6:10AM Sean Fallon | Earlier this morning we heard that Family Guy is teaming up with Microsoft to promote Windows 7 on an upcoming show. If this clip is anything to go by, I wouldn’t get your hopes up for comedy. More »

Family Guy And Microsoft Team Up For Hackiest Ever Hackathon
6:00PM Dan Nosowitz | Hack-tacular comedy murderer Seth MacFarlane is teaming up with Microsoft to create a commercial-free, partly live-action special in which the Windows 7 brand-name will be integrated into the show’s content. Commercials might actually have improved this idea. More »

Why is Family Guy Playing Above CNN’s Magic Wall on Election Night?
1:15PM Gizmodo US Edition | If you are like most Americans tonight, you are probably tuned in to CNN, analysing everything you see—even those television screens about the Magic Wall. And if you’re looking over the wall, you might catch Family Guy running on screens above all that red and blue. It wouldn’t be the first time we’d catch these guys goofing off during politics. I wonder if this episode is the one that Peter becomes the president his own nation? If so, it’s certainly fitting. [Thanks Joe!]

TBS, I Can Pause My Own TV, Thanks
3:43AM Mark Wilson | TBS has opted to not only advertise during television shows through those pesky lower third banners, but to go so far as to pause the show you are watching to do it. A particularly offensive case of interstitial marketing, needless to say, it’s not going to do wonders for the network’s ratings. Oh, and for the TBS marketing gurus high-fiving right now and claiming that any press is good press, we have two words for you: Michael. Jackson. [kottke via bbGadgets] More »

Family Guy Enters The Matrix
7:30AM Mark Wilson | If someone had asked me right when I woke up this morning if I expected to see an superbFamily Guy/Matrix trailer mashup—I’d probably have searched YouTube for it later—but I’d have done so quite incredulously. [via newlaunches] More »

Fox’s Legal iTunes DVD Rip Works Great, Wastes Plastic
4:30AM Wilson Rothman | Amid all of the MacBook Air hullabaloo, you might have forgotten about the Apple announcement that Fox would begin providing “free” iTunes versions of programs via DVD. The first release was Family Guy Presents: Blue Harvest, a Star Wars parody. Being the brave product testers that we are, we tried it out. It was, well, kinda weird. More »
