Anyone seen this series? It's blatant product placement, but in kind of a funny way. I'm thinking if web series are the future of television, then one way to get around funding is to have this sort of tongue in cheek nod to product placement. Kind of like the Snapple product placement in 30 Rock during that one episode.

Plus I kind of think the commercials are funny. "I'm not really worried about a robot takeover... if a key chain can't get through airport security, how is a cyborg going to hop a flight to Phoenix to destroy the Grand Canyon?"

Shakira's hips are incapable of premeditated deception.

    I was going to post a picture of Heckle and Jeckle, but I think that's considered fairly racist these days.

    The best product placement is Burger King in Arrested Development.

    I disagree. The best product placement is everything in 30 Rock.

    I haven't had a chance to watch much of 30 Rock, but from what I've seen you're probably right.

    The best moment in Arrested Development is when Henry Winkler is walking along the dock and jumps over a shark. Nothing is really said of it, and it's just a delightful visual gag.

    Jerry Seinfeld plugging Bee Movie directly to camera was also hilarious.

    Wait Carl Weathers is still alive? I thought he died

    Shit, and I used to get him confused with Billy Dee Williams all the time as a kid

    I feel like I should send him an apologetic email or something
