Because product placements in movies released in the theater aren't illegal. But it's very strict on television and in some cases aren't even allowed (for example news, children's program. And shows where product placement is included have to be marked.
Oh, well I don't understand it either XD
But it's still stupid. I mean, whenever a brand-name product is shown somewhere on TV, the name is censored but it's still obvious what it is. Me and my mom always ridicule it; it's really something to make your eyes roll.
Let's face it, product placements help subsidize film and television projects. Instead of a cast member reaching for a cola, they reach for a Coke or a Pepsi. This is nothing new. Milk and Pepsi was Laverne's infamous favorite drink in Laverne & Shirley? There's really nothing wrong with it as long as it doesn't alter the content. Kids' entertainment is different, however it's up to the parents to set limits. Nobody tells Mike & Ike to change their packaging because kids like cartoon characters and bright colors. Well, that's not entirely true. San Francisco succeeded in keeping toys out of junk food Happy Meals until just a few months ago.
Entertainment is advertising. Pretending otherwise is the true dishonest act. TV programs and films will always create trends and there will always be a beneficiary of those who follow such trends. I applaud the effort to make things transparent, but libeling Kermit is not the way. What's next? Are they gonna sue Sesame Street's letter C and the number 3?
