Why Britain Sucks At Product Placement

RedSkysays...

What irritates me the most is product placement on news sites.

With everyone using AdBlock I can imagine they're struggling for revenue, but it's frustrating when you see say tech sites previously with good editorial commentary running "XX releases new product" every second post which all read like a press release. Or "xmas gift ideas" articles that are pretty much glossy ad inserts.

MilkmanDansays...

Sincere kudos to them for keeping advertising well regulated on TV.

...That being said, how can they get that so RIGHT, while at the same time Premier League jerseys are 90% billboard space for things entirely unrelated to football, MAYBE with a tiny team logo somewhere. Compare that to, say, NHL jerseys (or any of the US big 4, really). I think Canadians would rise up in revolt and/or burn Gary Bettman in effigy if he told an original 6 team to put some f*&%ing corporate logo on their sweater...

NaMeCaFsays...

I wish we were like the Brits in this regard. I think their system makes a hell of a lot more sense.

I hope the title of this is in jest, because if not then that's actually more scary.

Mordhaussays...

That is the title of the original video.

Paybacksays...

The last movie had 2.

One that is no longer in production, and one that never will be.
If you can't buy the product from the company, is it advertising?

So if James Bond gets shown on TV in Britain, his Aston Martin is simply a really cool luxury sports car?
