That's Product Placement?

You'd be surprised to find out how many things can ACTUALLY be considered product placement.

When thinking of product placement, most people might assume that it would be the glorified presentation of a certain product. After all, if a company is paying to star in your movie, you had better give them their money's worth.

Accomplishing a smooth transition into product placement, however, is no easy feat. As a result, the placement in films isn't always what you would expect.



This scene from Fight Club is actually a form of product placement. Rather than glorification, it's treated like crap. I'm not too sure that that's what companies pay for.

You would think that if a company were going to give money to a film that they would at least ensure that they were properly represented ... I suppose any publicity is good publicity.
