Meet palm. Microsoft's decided to pull out of its co-sponsoring of "Family Guy Presents: Seth & Alex's Almost Live Comedy Show" after execs attending the taping came to the sudden conclusion that Family Guy-caliber jokes were to be told, tackling such topics as "deaf people, the Holocaust, feminine hygiene and incest.""</em></p><p><img src="http://images.thoughtsmedia.com/resizer/thumbs/size/600/dht/auto/1256682221.usr1.jpg" style="border: 1px solid #d2d2bb;" /></p><p>Makes you wonder if anyone at Microsoft who was involved in making this decision had ever watched the show - because it's not like the Family Guy is subtle with the humour they employ. I enjoy watching the show that skewers everything in sight, but that doesn't mean it's a good match for every consumer brand.</p>
