TOO MUCH ADVERTISING


Flexta McSignals

Recommended Posts

i am sick of all the product placement in tv shows

 

it's too much especially when right after the show goes to commercial the first ad is the same thing in the show

 

and smallville is the worst of them all they advertise everything

psp

sprint

toyota or mitsubishi

v8

starbucks

stride gum

 

the list goes on

why can't they just advertise in one place NOT BOTH

 

i'm basically going mad because of this

I'm fine with product placement when it doesn't detract from the movie. At times, it can even enhance the movie by giving it a level of realism (characters use real products, instead of generic brands), a prime example of this is I am Sam. However, I do have an issue when the advertising runs rampant, and scenes are added in just for the sake of getting the product some screen time. Like in Transformers.

Official show run time: 30 min

Actual show run time: 22 minutes

└ Also true.

 

You do know that shows are pre-recorded months before they're aired, right?

 

Not many shows are aired the moment they're created. At least, not in Canada.
