...and that's why you will see "product placement" in shows starting this fall. (According to FoxNews)
i.e. On "Days of Our Lives"...Bo will hand Hope an American Express card to pay for their McDonalds happy meals, as UPS trucks drive by in the background.
I guess with TVO's and VCR's...companies are not getting enough exposure as consumers zip through the commercials.
Therefore...product placement.
Supposedly the FCC will try to set standards for this saturation of ads during a television show.
