Microsoft yanks Windows 7 sponsorship deal with Family Guy

After Microsoft previously announced they would be sponsoring a Family Guy episode in efforts to promote Windows 7, they have decided to yank the sponsorship. The decision came after Microsoft execs attended the special’s taping on October 16. Upon discovering that the show would “include riffs on deaf people, the Holocaust, feminine hygiene and incest,” the execs decided that “such material was apparently a bit much for Microsoft.”

Although the Redmond Company has dropped out of the sponsorship deal, TheRawFeed [via Engadget] reports that the show will still air November 8th, and will include references to Windows 7. Here’s a preview of what is to be expected:
