i think only made-for-tv movies shown on the "lifetime"
channel are capable of that.

I catch it once in a while on late night tv. It's not very
good as far as commercial comedy series go. I prefer the Big
Bang theory, or even the Goldbergs when it comes to
mainstream stuff.

bollocks than watch the big bang theory, sorry im being very
negative i know

It can be quite fun, and to be honest I sometimes enjoy it.
It's silly tv, but not too dumb. There's something for
everyone, and the acting is pretty good.

It certainly shits on 2broke birds.

I guess sometimes I like cosy stuff. To take a break from my
genius taste.

That episode was fun, and reflected well the choice one is
faced with.

The specs was the joke, not advertising.

Cheer up, join ISIS or something.

Its ok i dont actively hate it,

You'd rather do I forget what with rusty nails and your
balls than watch it.

If that's not 'active hating' I dunno...

I remember that episode. Should they have made up console
names?

All three console makers get screen time. It was pretty
fair. I think that episode spoke to a lot of geeks trying to
work out which console to buy.

He doesn't buy any in the end btw.

i wouldnt mind but they blatantly do it all the time, they
probably wrote the episode around the whole premise of
flogging consoles, well perhaps

yeah i think they should have probably made up console
names they could have even made up names that sound like
funny parody, that would have shown a bit of imagination i
reckon, then again im not a comedy writer who is forced to
write product placement into the script

Am I supposed to be appalled by that crummy link?

i guess even mentioning the game Operation in a tv show is
seen as selling its soul to Hasbro now.

there was some irony in it why it was funny

My point is that I don't need characters to drink doca kola,
or the play the fun-station. I don't fall for that shit. I'm
not going to buy something because it's in a movie. If
anything it more genuine.

With BBT and the battle of the consoles., we all know them
anyway, and there's no winner, or supposedly better
product.

The specs bit is funny to some because it's jibber jabber to
them, while nerds recognize themselves.

I do remember finding it biased at first when only
PSwhatever and Xboxthing were mentioned, but happy to see
plenty of Nintendo later on.

Also, I like the Goldbergs sometimes (tv only, would never
download an episode) because it's cosy, it's nostalgic, and
talks about 80s stuff. They have to name the products we
remember as they're part of the memories. If Barry talks
about reebok pumps, or the new Jordan's, or if Adam talks
about Zelda, I never think of placement, I just fondly
remember how badly I wanted a pair Jordan's, was fascinated
when reeboks had the pump model out for the first time. That
Zelda marked a part of my life.

I'm a cynical guy, people who know me know it, but sometimes
there really is no big deal.

did you notice they have fake brand soft drink cans in bbt?
i did and whenup googling i read some about massive product
placment.
i also thought maybe they hadnt been paid, what they wanted
and replaced the original cans with those. like they were
billboard ads, saying "here this could be your ad". Matter
of fact those fake cans left my thoughts circling around
this more than an actual can would :(

also,
have you ever wondered what the hell is that thing on the
wall in sheldons apartment?
i did and the internet has answered that question aswell,
cause apparently it was driving mad millions.
it was a big laugh but it got me spooked a bit aswell.

as to the quality of the bbt, its at the top of todays
comedy, which sadly hasnt made the huge steps as drama
series have and rather seem to be on the decline in quality
and quantity. 2broke girls i barely have seen 3 episodes,
first impression was appalling. way too much silence after
(2me) unfunny jokes. just lame pace. it does however seem to
contain some out of the box thinking now and then.

People are taking the piss out of you everyday. They butt
into your life, take a cheap shot at you and then disappear.
They leer at you from tall buildings and make you feel
small. They make flippant comments from buses that imply
you’re not sexy enough and that all the fun is happening
somewhere else. They are on TV making your girlfriend feel
inadequate. They have access to the most sophisticated
technology the world has ever seen and they bully you with
it. They are The Advertisers and they are laughing at you.

You, however, are forbidden to touch them. Trademarks,
intellectual property rights and copyright law mean
advertisers can say what they like wherever they like with
total impunity.

Fuck that. Any advert in a public space that gives you no
choice whether you see it or not is yours. It’s yours to
take, re-arrange and re-use. You can do whatever you like
with it. Asking for permission is like asking to keep a rock
someone just threw at your head.

You owe the companies nothing. Less than nothing, you
especially don’t owe them any courtesy. They owe you. They
have re-arranged the world to put themselves in front of
you. They never asked for your permission, don’t even
start asking for theirs." – Banksy

the elevator here is ground zero for this. in the dead of
night, someone adorned the catalog model advertising the
hotel with a very un-ladlylike mario moustache. this lasted
for weeks. then, finally, the broken window theory crept
into action, and someone else drew giant cumming dicks, in
shiny gold sharpie marker. this was too much for proper
capitalism, and the signs were torn down within 24 hours.
