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.


Starting this fall?

Like usual, FoxNews is waaaaay behind on their reporting.

Here's a hint - ever watch E.T.?
