A Brief History of Conspicuous Product Placment in Movies
This is a pretty crazy history of product placement in movies. There were some new ones I never knew about. It’s odd to think how normal product placement seems now, as though it’s some inevitable thing that couldn’t be avoided.
Always glad to see both The Wizard and Mac and Me mentioned. TJ and Chris… I’m looking in your direction.

It’s In the Bible: Video About Product Placement in Movies
This was cool! I just watched Easy A over the weekend, and they had the funniest product placement EVER. All these religious kids were protesting the girl being in school, and mixed in with the crowd was a guy dressed in a giant Quizno’s cup. Plus, he has a line, which is hilarious. You should check out the movie if you’re at all interested. It was pretty funny.
