MICROSOFT PULLS THE PLUG: ‘Family Guy’ content not so family oriented.

      *A parent watchdog group wants Microsoft to stop running ads on some animated shows with offensive content. According to One News Now, the Parents Television Council (PTC) praised the software giant for pulling ads on a Fox network special featuring Seth MacFarlane, who created Family Guy and other programs the PTC says has offensive content.

      During the most recent annual meeting of Microsoft shareholders, PTC called on the company to discontinue advertising on all Seth MacFarlane programming.

      "When you buy ad time on a particular program, you're buying time on that program because you want to reach a specific demographic that that program is targeted to," Melissa Henson told One News Now. "So you are, in fact, in part buying into the values communicated on that show," added the PTC spokeswoman. "So it is right that we hold you responsible for the content of that program because it does reflect your corporate values."
