Washington Post on Apple and product placement

not everyone on the office uses PC's - ryan uses an iBook while everyone uses drab, black machines. i love that show.

Actually Michael gives away an ipod in one episode and in another he travels to New York to do a presentation. It's a video presentation that he says he "edited on his mac".

South Park's last episode. Characters are running around Fox network studios arguing over airing an episode of Family Man. There are clearly the distinct shapes and stands of Imac G5's and older G4 desktops on the desks.

I can't tell you how much fun it is to have my girlfriend point out that every other person on a tv show is sporting a Motorola RAZR. I get it, it's popular, you don't get a prize for being as cool as the chick from Alias, sorry!

Just to clarify you are talking about apple computer are you? Or are your talking about that apple record company? I'm a bit confused here?

In almost every movie Angelina Jolie is in, she has uses Panasonic products. Product placement only works on the people in society who have no identity. They want to become like the people they see on TV, and like their friends.

Not to say the iPod isnt a great product, its fantastic, just not my thing. If they wanted to make a real world simulation then they should come to my university where I would say its a 8/1/1 split. For every 10 students 8 have a dell, 1 has an Apple product, and 1 has a non-dell branded notebook. I have a ThinkPad.

If anything its just more advertising, good for Apple.
