It can be recorded that Windows 7 does actually have me liking the whole Windows ecosystem again. Albeit not as much as I like Snow Leopard, still, Microsoft finally made right in the OS department with their upcoming release. However, just because I like their product doesn’t mean I want to hear about it or get constant reminders that it exists. Case in point: A new, Microsoft sponsored, Windows 7 horn tooting Family guy dubbed “Family Guy Presents: Seth & Alex’s Almost Live Comedy Show”. The episode will feature some subtle and other not so subtle hints about how quick, easy, and fast Windows 7 is to use and install. Super. This episode is going to be a real winner I can tell. Microsoft hasn’t exactly ever been “cool” in the commercial department. This new approach of implementing popular TV shows into advertising won’t help. Sorry to say, Family Guy, you lost some respect in my book.
(Per Digital Daily)
PETER: Remember that one time I installed Windows 7?
[CUT TO: Griffin study, Peter is installing Windows 7. It is clearly simple, fast and easy to use]
PETER: Yeah, it was so simple, fast and easy to use.
Wow, I can’t wait! /sarcasm. Sadly, this won’t be Family Guy’s first lowering of standards to make a quick advertising buck. After the Microsoft special, viewers can look forward to a special Google/Adsense themed episode later on down the road. Doesn’t anyone feel even a little saddened that corporate America is invading our personal lives and destroying them?
In case you’re wondering, the new episode will air November 8th at 8:30 PM EST and PST. Should be a real riveting experience…
