I was watching the Biggest Loser the other day (one of my favorite shows) and I couldn't help but notice the number of not even subtle product placements. From Extra gum, to some brand of marinade, to Ziplock bags, to Nabisco 100 Calorie snacks, to Aquafina water, to SUBWAY! It's all over. There is no need for commercials on the show because the commercials are built into the show. I love the show, but it getting really annoying. I mean when the trainer tells the people that when they are hungry they chew a piece of Extra gum to suppress their hunger is bullshit! BULLSHIT I TELL YOU! I then realized the product placement in all the shows that I watch. Like Project Runway, and damn Loreal and Tresseme, and the Blue-Fly accessories wall. And don't even get me started on America's Next Top Model, I don't even know why I watch the show anymore. I hate Tyra and the stupid shit those girls do. DUMB!! And yet I'm still addicted. It's even on regular shows like Ugly Betty and Desperate Housewives, and Gossip Girl and Reaper. Stop it! As if I don't have enough advertising in my life to begin with and then there is even more when I watch TV than just the commercials. Argh!!
Let's put them together! Annoying!
Anyway Graduation is 5 days away! Yay!!!! I just have to get through until Wednesday and then everything will be golden. Say a prayer or send positive energy my way. I'm going to graduate and then watch out World!
The book this time is:
Even Cowgirls Get the Blues (Tom Robbins)

I agree, it's pretty much anywhere and everywhere you look ... shows that try to "better" people especially have them, like if you look at makeover shows - all the tooth whitening gel, etc ... as well as using celebrity icons during commercials to advertise their products, especially weight loss (watching a commercial like that right now!).
