Product Placement

I'm currently watching Bones and there was a huge product placement!!!!!! One character said "Why do you have a mini-van, do you have kids we don't know about." The other says, "Honey, I'm an artist, the Sienna provides me..." I lost track of what she said after that because I was in shock. Also during the commercials there have been a few different ones about the Toyota Sienna. Seems like they are trying to do a huge job to get their product out there. It worked, I noticed. However, I won't be buying a Sienna anytime soon. Maybe more about this later.

Just like I was saying in class... it seems like you can't watch anything anymore without having a product placement put in there. And in your example, did they write the script to fit that in?! That's crazy.

So I was watching the biggest looser last night and for real basically a commercial for fiber one cereal right in the middle. I was kind of annoyed but I could not stop laughing because of how obvious it was.
