Product placement
Dec. 14th, 2003 12:28 pmProduct placement has gotten out of hand. I'm watching Willy Wonka on TNT, which doesn't have any that I've noticed (well, there's lots of Willy Wonka chocolate). It's currently on commercial break, and I just watched a commercial for Swiffer Dusters.
When showing that it could clean up makeup spills, the setting moved to, apparently, a teenage girl's room, with a poster of "Maid in Manhattan" in the background. I wrote it off as set dressing, except that later in the commercial the top of a TV set was being dusted, a DVD case for the movie was prominently propped up on top of the set.
Product placement in ads? Sigh,
