I was just reminded of this movie I saw a few years ago called Josie and the Pussycats. It's a live-action remake of the old cartoon show. There was nothing else on and decided to watch it and found myself liking it quite a bit.

Anyway, there is an INSANE amount of product placement EVERYWHERE in the movie, and I mean Everywhere. TARGET logos on a plane. McDonalds logos in the Shower, Motorola, etc etc. Non-stop cosmetics ads. Just incredible. I'm sure the movie made more in product placement than they did in ticket sales.

Note the REVLON, TARGET, and very strangely placed TIDE and MCDONALDS logos and placement in this 5 minute clip

I adore that movie.

It's an interesting juxtaposition, 'cos the underlying theme was to NOT necessarily go with what is fed to you by corporate media.

Here's what I want to know. I put up a simple wet t shirt contest video from bike week a few week ago on youtube. It was a very plain one, outside stage, nothing showing.

Even the T shirts were the type you can't see through when wet. Within the same day they deleted it and gave me a warning!!!!!!

Yet there are dozens of the SAME video on there. Plus thousands more that are way sexier than that one. So why the hell did they do that?
