l.a. times article about top chef
The whole article is a bit disdainful...because it’s a pop culture critique. CH gets lumped in with product placement, robotic host and all sorts of things. I don’t know if the term “carping” was the right...

Sex in the City, donuts, & milkshakes
Krispy Kreme donuts – way overrated. Krispy Kremes and McD’s spotlighted – that’s called "product placement" in the movie industry, and the producers are paid to place those products where you and I can see...

Best Thing I Ever Ate on FN
Anyone saw this last night? I missed 90% of the “Fried Foods” episode but caught the “BBQ” one. On the one hand, it sort of struck me as a great big product placement for Food Network’s existing...

Are Muir Glen tomatoes marketed virally?
"product placement" into high visibility recipes? I mean, they couldn’t have caught on that fast. OMG! I was about to post this, and the banner ad is for some chowhound salsa video, and its “presented by Muir Glen...
