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.

Why Seth MacFarlane’s Microsoft Guy is the end of television, and the world (via christinebeardsell)

I love how Paul Carr is so judgmental when he hasn’t even seen the episode. Lame. I’m all for product placement/integrated branding/whatever you want to call it, just as long as it’s funny. The fact is people really don’t care about product placement; if it’s not too overbearing, it’s perfectly fine. And if you’re going to make your entire show revolve around a product, that’s fine too; just make sure that episode kicks so much ass. That’s all an audience really cares about.
