Product placement Friday, Mar 12, 2010 10:31 am

I get annoyed by product placement ads on TV shows.  I'm fine with the Coke cups on the judges table on American Idol.  I understand that's a form of advertising, but it's unobtrusive enough to not even realize it's there.  The Jay Leno Show, or whatever that stupid hour-long commercial is called these days, is a little different.  And I'm not the only one who noticed.  The one episode I watched had a segment that consisted of the celebrity guest driving a car around a little outdoor track to try to get the fastest time.  The car was some new electric Ford sedan, and I couldn't help but notice that this was a really long commercial not even cleverly disguised as a segment of a TV show.  I mean, if you're gonna try to sell me crap I don't want, at least cut to commercial first so I know when to press the fast-forward button on my DVR.
