Singing Lunch

Any of you see this commercial on TV? Oh come now, it's on all the time! Well you just...you just haven't been watching enough of the ol' tube! Yah I said it! Anyways, the point I was trying to make was that I'm not sure who's doing the marketing for Wendy's but I gotta ask: what were thinking? I mean if I saw a singing burger, I'd be freaking out! Talk about dinner and entertainment coming together... Forget that obsolete, old tech, Wendy's burger! Except maybe you're right, it might get old pretty quick... Kinda getting hungry right now actually...

Product Placement Gone Awry

So those few people out there who actually enjoy CBS' new drama Cane, just couldn't be left alone in peace by the show's sponsor Cheverolet. As it turns out, Chevy spoiled a plot right after cutting to a commercial from a very dramatic scene. 

itsy bitsy *SPOILER ALERT*

What? None of you watch Cane, so its ok? Oh that's great! So what happened was one of the main characters (no I couldn't bother myself to look up his name on wikipedia), after escaping his wedding in (of course) a Cheverolet Silverado pickup, ended up trapped in a burning sugar cane field. Cut to commercial, the truck bursts out of a wall of burning sugar cane and the announcer asks, "Did you think that Silverado stunt was hot?"

Very little backlash was received for this (unfortunately). But, with Bond driving a Ford, Heroes driving Nissans, where'd you think this was gonna go next?
