Is it just me or is product placement in movies and TVs shows becoming simply nauseating? You've got Dell and Apple all over the CSI series, most movies are now all infused with bloody car placements - the new Bond is a great example. That idiotic Ford got more screen time than the Aston Martin. Even one of my fav 'indie' shows, Dirty Job with Mike Rowe, is starting to have ad placements.


Haven't seen Transformers, but it looks like a fun flick. Probably on my rental list.
