Actually, it bugs me more when they have labels turned *just* away from the camera.
Fake brands can be cool, if done with style and wit. But PP doesn't generally bother me. Hell, Breaking Bad made product placement into a legitimate character beat last season.
Product placement: Does it irritate you? on Dec 31, 08:30
I'm fortunately neutral about PP. Rarely notice it. I do leave the cinema with a strange desire for Coca Cola and iPhones though... {nm} on Dec 31, 08:36
Honestly, it's something we see every day at this point. Not sure why it should seem odd in movies. on Dec 31, 08:42
i agree with you, or they'd cover up/alter part of the actual name leaving actors to drink "epsi" or to wash their clothes with "fide" (nm) on Dec 31, 09:15
Speaking of generic brand stuff, why the fake phone numbers that start with 555? I want to call the Gohostbusters, dammit. on Dec 31, 09:19
OK,,,for a good time call Jenny at 867-5309 forgot the area code {nm} on Dec 31, 10:25
Some interesting uses of that number...where one might least expect it... (source wikipedia, not peer reviewed) on Dec 31, 13:47
Depends on how conspicuous it is. on Dec 31, 09:23
You mean like a recent movie where they are in Times Square and a big billboard is promoting "Game of Shaodws?" {nm} on Dec 31, 10:28
Ugh, that was wretched. I remember Sbarro, Toshiba, and Nokia being in there too, among others. on Dec 31, 11:19
Wonder whether they'll alter that billboard for the video release to promote Game of Shadows on Blu-Ray. {nm} on Dec 31, 13:36
I agree. Worst product placement I have ever seen though was the TV show Eureka. They did a one hour long car commercial for an episode. {nm} on Dec 31, 12:22
Showing a product is one thing, talking about it is another on Dec 31, 12:42

How about when the semi nude Victoria Secret models are plastered all over bus shelters while a driving scene is ongoing? Simply shameless. on Dec 31, 13:53
