Response to Roland Rumrills "Product Placement"

 Does product placement make a difference for you?

As mentioned in the blog above it seems that you cant watch 5 minutes of television without seeing a famous item placed in the shot, and by no means is that coincidence.  As to whether or not product placement matters to me, it truly depends.  In cases when it is corny and thrust in my face no, such as when characters mentioned there craving a certain type of fast food chain or drink.  However sometimes mores subtle placement can work.  Mac computers for instance are constantly seen on television programs an movies.  These computers however are rarely mentioned, you just see you favorite character using the product in their everyday routine.  this particular type of placement does seem to make a difference to me whether i notice it to or not.
