“We initially chose to participate in the Seth and Alex variety show based on the audience composition and creative humor of Family Guy, but after reviewing an early version of the variety show, it became clear that the content was not a fit with the Windows brand,” said a Microsoft spokeswoman. In this case (as with just about every episode of the show), “creative humor” meant jokes about deaf people and Holocaust jabs. Is anyone surprised?

The endorsement drop didn’t kill the show, though. Fox will still be airing the special event on November 8th as part of an all-MacFarlane night of television. Hopefully the new sponsor will actually look at some of MacFarlane’s work before considering a deal.
