This is a RETARDED idea. If anything, they should make 15-30 second clips with Stewie or Brian or Peter related to Windows 7, not a retarded product-placement show D:

I believe that all TV shows will eventually take this direction, so many already have along video games and movies too. The amount of money a company will provide to another company to simply put their name in a movie or game is ridiculous. Think about it, essentially commercial free programming where the characters simply use or refer to a specific product or service to advertise it.

Just like any technology, advertising will evolve to a point where we can't really avoid it, and it will be in everything we do and watch. I mean, a commercial comes on tv and you change the channel to something else, or get up and walk away for that period of time. If it's integrated into a show (just like they are in movies and games) we're getting that subtle hint at whatever product it is while still enjoying the comedrama we're watching.

Just my two cents.
