I think product placement in TV shows is rather superfluous. I always notice it on American Idol and I think to myself K, I don't like Coca-Cola...SHUT UP! Because Ryan Seacrest always says how delicious it is. In reality, those dumb judges are probably not even drinking Coca-Cola, they just have glasses that say Coca-Cola on them. I also see a lot of phone advertisements in movies. They'll get a text and it will zoom in on the nice looking Nokia phone. It hasn't really worked for me because I don't know that I'm the target market. I usually spot the advertisements, but some of them are pretty sneaky. I never see them in one of my favorite shows, LOST, but that's because they're trapped on a desert island. Another place where I do see them a lot is The Biggest Loser. They have these hints about how chewing EXTRA Gum will make you not be hungry. But they make it seem like only the brand EXTRA will make you not hungry, when in reality, any gum will make you not hungry. I think that it's kind of effective, but if I see a Coca-Cola glass, I get thirsty, and go get a glass of water, or crystal light. I don't go buy a Coca-Cola from SA.
