The whole scene in Wayne's World about product placing is one of the best in the two films. It takes the piss out of pointless placing.

Another one ragging it was in a Full Frontal sketch parodying some Marylin Monroe film which had two people at the table talking and there was a can of Coke there and it kept on being knocked off then being put back on by a stage hand.

In other words, why bother with product placing in the first place? Just make it real.

Who gives a damn? This is like a liberal arts student psycho-analysing Labyrinth. Interesting, but ultimately, the only person who'll pay attention is David Bowie.

^ What a dickhead.

Of course, if it was a couple of corporate CEOs telling you the exact opposite, that none of this was in the least bit Orwellian....you'd be in total agreement, right?

but if there were no more ads there would be moments of nothing where i might actually have to think about things.
