microsoft don't like family guy

Microsoft cancels Family Guy deal

The comedy show features Family Guy creator Seth MacFarlane
Microsoft has pulled out of sponsoring a TV spin-off show of animated comedy Family Guy because of concerns over edgy material.

The software giant was to have sponsored Family Guy Presents: Seth and Alex's Almost Live Comedy Show, to promote the launch of Windows 7.

The one-off special includes sketches by Family Guy creator Seth MacFarlane.

But after seeing a recording of the show, the company said "the content was not a fit with the Windows brand".

The show is still due to be broadcast in the US on 8 November.

It is part of a special night of programming on the Fox TV network dedicated to MacFarlane, who voices Family Guy characters including patriarch Peter Griffin.

The show, which stars MacFarlane and Alex Borstein - who voices Griffin's wife Lois - is billed as a half-hour special of comedy sketches and animated shorts.

But after attended a taping of the show, which reportedly contained jokes about deaf people, the Holocaust and incest, Microsoft bosses pulled the plug on its sponsorship deal.

"We continue to have a good partnership with Fox, Seth MacFarlane and Alex Borstein and are working with them in other areas," Microsoft said in a statement.

Fox made no comment on Microsoft's decision.

Heartattack and Vine (song)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
"Heartattack and Vine"
Heartattack and Vine.jpg
"Heartattack and Vine" cover
Song by Tom Waits

from the album Heartattack and Vine
Released September 1980
Length 4:50
Label Asylum
Writer Tom Waits
Producer Bones Howe

"Heartattack and Vine" is a song from the Tom Waits album by the same name. The song describes the difficulties of life in the crime-ridden parts of Los Angeles, California (Cahuenga is a street in Los Angeles[1] and the local bus system was formerly known as the RTD[2]).

The song makes use of many double meanings and local references (street names, bus system, and colloquial drug slang), often alluding to the fact that nothing is sacred in that part of the city ("there ain't no devil, there's just God when he's drunk") and how people who moved there from other places looking for a better life end up prostitutes ("Well I bet she's still a virgin but it's only twenty-five 'til nine, you can see a million of 'em on Heartattack and Vine.") and drug addicts ("Boney's high on china white") and would have been better off staying in their hometowns ("better off in Iowa against your scrambled eggs, than crawling down Cahuenga on a broken pair of legs").

The song makes numerous references to the insufflation of cocaine and heroin ("...china white", "taste of madness" and "let's do another line") and prostitution (Cahuenga is a double entendre meaning both the street in Los Angeles and an unusually large male sex organ).

The song has been covered by Screamin' Jay Hawkins and featured in the Levi's commercial "Procession" directed by Michael Haussman. Waits sued in European court over this use of his music and won against Levi's. The following apology was printed by Levi's in a 1993 issue of Billboard Magazine:

Tom Waits is opposed to his music, voice, name or picture being used in commercials. We at Levi Strauss & Co. have long admired Mr. Waits' work and respect his artistic integrity including his heartfelt views on the use of his music in commercials. From January to June 1993 Levi Strauss Europe authorized broadcasting in 17 countries a commercial for Levi's 501 jeans called "Procession". This commercial featured Tom Waits' song "Heart Attack and Vine" performed by Screamin' Jay Hawkins. We obtained the rights in good faith and were unaware of Mr. Waits' objections to such usage of his composition. We meant no offense to Mr. Waits and regret that "Heart Attack and Vine" was used against his wishes and that the commercial caused him embarrassment.[1]

Playing "Need For Speed - Shift" on PS3 at the moment. I'm really into it. It's not like the last few NFS's (shit!).
