Last year the windows logo was on many computers and phones that appears in TV shows, so the companies do pay for the product placement. I saw a new TV program recently and they were using a laptop that must have been 15 years old which didn't have any logos on it, which is what happens when they don't have a sponsor for the show, and have to use old computer props. But there is other product placement in the shows too, and many movies, it is how they make their money. The commerical breaks aren't the only place they advertise. |

I was forced to watch it one other time when I was away on a fishing trip with a bunch with a bunch of blokes. I couldn't believe it when some of them wanted to watch that when we got back to the lodge lol. So I've seen it twice | Phil B (648) | ||
