Microsoft chief strategy officer discusses Family Guy ad incident

Tech Flash has been speaking with David Wester, Microsoft's chief strategy officer, and asked about the Family Guy incident earlier in the year when Microsoft pulled its sponsorship at the last minute. Microsoft had originally partnered with Fox to sponsor the half-hour commercial break free Almost Live Family Guy  special, but pulled out in the eleventh hour. When asked if anyone had actually watched the series at Microsoft David said a definite yes and went on to say: "There were many different strains of comedy within Family Guy, and I think the difference between being in a Family Guy episode and advertising in a Family Guy episode, there are some nuances there."
