Kindle 1 on TV
I just saw a Kindle 1 at the end of the episode of the new TNT series "Trust Me".

*edit - wait, did you notice they taped off "Sony?" It isn't a paid advert then. |

Truth in advertising (ha ha), I work making commercials and even I am sensitive to inappropriate use of advertising. Sometimes, things are just props. |

It's either product placement or even more endless commercials. Programming ain't really free. Although some of the drek on TV, I feel they should pay me to even own a box that has the potential to receive it...

Yeah, but they do it with so much tongue in cheek that you just otta laugh. I imagine that somewhere there are people in corporat offices pulling their hair out when they see what they get for their money from them.

No, they're happy because you're talking about it and remember what the product was. That's the point.

Did anyone see Desperate Housewives a couple of weeks ago? Bree bought a new car and was showing her friends all of the features. At the end of her speech, the camera zoomed in on the name of the car.
