McDonald's

Wow, I know they have product placement, but they actually had Todd bring in a bag of McDonald's. Not only was the bag unmistakable, but so was the wrapper inside. They would never have allowed that on ABC.

I like that better. In real life, people eat McDonald's and drink Cokes. I hate blatant product placement, but if it's just realistic props the script calls for anyway, I'm game.

I like it too. I hate when character on TV drink a beer with no label or that has a generic label that says, "Beer," that the prop department made. It makes it more unrealistic. The McDonald's thing was very realistic, especially when Blair made a dig at Todd saying he could surely afford more than that.

This is ok, it isn't like on Days where a woman runnning a restraunt /pub (Caroline) starts selling PF Chang frozen food to one of her customers or when one of the archsupervillain takes a moment to discuss cereal with his henchman.

For downright amateur villains you birds win the nickel-plated hot dogs.

If Disney owned McDonalds it would have happened on ABC. There were some really blanent product placements for Disney films on General Hospital when Avengers came out. Days of our Lives had some serious product placement for frozen Chinese Food, PMS medicine. lol

I eat at Mcdonalds and nobody pays me so it seems normal enough.

JEFF : I hate Glee.
PIERCE : I'm not crazy about Glee either.
