Hi,

I watched Back to the Future again last night and and as much as i love it its gotta win my award for most blatant advertising. ie

Miller Beer Truck in the Background
Pepsi
Nike
Tab
Calvin Klein

Can anyone name any other films with such obvious advertising in it?? I remember the brilliant scene in Waynes World where they took the p*** out of it too........

Can any one name any other products in the BTTF trilogy perhaps??

What about Taco Bell being the ONLY Fast Food restaurant to survive in the future in Demolition Man.

Also, 28 Days Later... where the woman says something about Terry`s Chocolate Orange. And the guy says something about Tango. Those were REALLY pushing it.

But I don`t have a problem with product placement. I find that I hardly ever notice it, and when I do it`s is usually amusing.



Everyone is entitled to an opinion, no matter how wrong it is ;-)
