Product Placement Disclosure?



MediaPost this week reported that the FCC is considering requiring text disclosure of product placement in content. While their focus appears to be TV, product placment is likely to play such a huge role in the future of the web that I thought I would mention it.

Also, because you may want a bit of diversion as this is July 3rd and you are probably sitting there in a veal fattening pen twiddling your thumbs waiting until management declares that totally impromptu half day today that everyone expects, I thought I would also link you to a nice snarky piece on Shiznit that makes fun of the top ten worst movie product placements of all times. Very cleva. Be aware before you go that the piece is rather profane.

Thanks for reading, and don't forget to write.
