Recently, I was watching a show, can't remember now which one, but at one point, a cop pointed to the floor and said "Isn't that tile Windstruck Meadows" or something. It was so incongruous, and the only reason for the man to say that is if the show was attempting to sell the tile as a stealth advertisement. 

I've been reading "Gone Girl" reviews and saw this

It is no disgrace for a film director to make commercials, as Fincher has done throughout his career. The problem comes when the artist blurs with the travelling salesman. A sensibility that applies itself equally to the need for 99 takes and to ensuring that beer bottles and ice-cream tubs are correctly angled to make their labels fully visible, as they are here, can’t help but seem suspect or insincere. Amy may be missing but it would be accurate in this instance to say that Fincher is, too. He’s a real gone guy.

Wondering. Is it simply impossible to make a movie or television show anymore without having advertisements as part of the plot? Laughing at this
