Tis was used in Transformer 2 too, speaking of which Michael Bay is notorious for it, too the point where he dedicates whole shots to the product. Horribly distracting.

Michael Bay's a whore for it. I hated some of the vehicles used in Transformers because of that. Neither could I stand the fact that certain parts were written in post script since e.g. GM had decided they wanted to promote another car at the last moment.
In the Island he says he used product placement because he wanted it to make it look as real as possible

there is a season of 24 where the only phone is Motorola Razr.And yes, irobot is shocking. The entire first 10 minutes has no link to the story whatsoever but just shows various products :/
Being distracting isn't a valid reason for not allowing private broadcasters to do it.
Indeed, if private broadcasters do it wrong, all people have to do is stop watching the programs, and the value goes away.
The only thing I can think of was the food...
The new Terminator film had a terrible bit of advertising when he pulled out a pristine condition Sony mini computer.
I don't mind it as long as it is subtle. The Cisco stuff in 24 was stupid - especially the telepresence. http://www.cisco.com/web/solutions/telepresence/fox/vid-24-20081119-telepresence.html lol.
Blade trinity was just a massive iPod advert "whehn i'm killing vampires, I like nothing more than to listen to music on my iPod"
though I remember a large number of years ago adverts telling viewers to report any product placement on tv, it was basically an australian soap where they put a ban of beer down infront of the camera, or the woman was picking up boxes where the label faced the camera etc.
