Cold-blooded killers prefer -- Acuvue!

[centaur]

What a weird product placement.

Particularly weird was the gal saying "I could hardly feel it go in." as she talked about the knife that almost killed her. And then, on the commercials "I could barely feel them go in." talking about the contacts. Okay, so they want us to associate knives plunging into hearts with contacts. Whookay. So, their new spokesperson stabs a guy in the chest.

Weirdest product placement ever.

I know! I miss pete!

[centaur]

Yeah, you're right. Pete could have promoted Acuvue without killing anybody.

[chole_fan]

Yeah, product placement is so common these days I almost overlook it, but that one was a bit much!

"Acuvue, the preferred lense of vigilantes everwhere!":D

[Summers]

I'm so sick and tired of these product placement since S2. I know they need them to have the show function, but it feels like The Truman Show :lol:.

[KristinIsAwesome]

Oh but they promoted that so badly it was like... phone booth reference, and then.. the camera just focuses in on the contacts for like 5 seconds.... It swas pretty funny..

Good title for the thread... it made me laugh.

Chloe has become Pete, except better looking.

Now we're gonna have to call her Commercial Chloe. :D

[centaur]

Do you think they'll make other changes to the mythos for the sake of product placement? Like, no-one recognizes that Clark Kent is Superman while he's wearing his Acuvue contacts?

It's a good thing that taking out your contacts isn't nearly as dramatic as whipping off your glasses.

Really obvious product placement. And now I can't put in my contacts with out thinking of knives.

..... :rotfl: I have the mental picture of Lex holding up the bottle and motioning to it with one hand while smiling brightly at the camera. I will never be able to watch that scene without thinking of that. :p

oh c'mon. lex isn't nearly as well-endowed as the ladies man. (not that i have any 1st hand experience mind you) :o

i take exception on calling her a cold-blodded killer. her blood was boiling with hatred. nothing cold about it. :p

[Kryptomaniac]

I expected Shelby to trot in at any moment with a box of Accuvues in his mouth. Oh well, glad the WB is making some dough but all the product placement is pretty distracting, in fact, it's becoming a joke.

[KRAM-el]

Next FOTW!!!! Accuvues soaked in Kryptonite!! Causes eyes to shoot daggers (real ones)!!!!!!!!!!! Keep 'em away from Pinkie or everybody dies!!! AAAAAGGGGHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :D

[Supercanuck]

I can see it now... (pardon the pun)

Meanwhile our vigilante is about to stab another punk.
Andrea: "Look into my eyes, scum! Tell me what you see?"
Thug: "Death!"
Andrea: "NO! It's my new Acuvue. It's so great it feels like I'm not wearing anything."
Thug: "Yeah, but what about people with Astigmatism?"
Andrea: "You can get Acuvue for people with Astigmatism!"
Thug: "Oh great! I can't wait to steal some...I mean try some."
Andrea: "I don't think so!"
Thug: "Nooooooo!" she stabs him.
Andrea: "At least you didn’t need Acuvue to see that one coming, scum!" she jumps in the air and disapears......

Fade out with Acuvue: Makes Justice see clearly again. From Johnson & Johnson a family company.

But if I see next week that Lex Luthor wearing a wig saying, "I'm not just the new president for hair club for men; I am also a client." Then I'm turning off my TV.

[Kryptomaniac]

LOL! Thanks!:lol: :lol: :lol:

p.s. I hate those ads on the bottom of the screen too. Why are they so BIG??? They cover up so much of the action and are a real turnoff. Commercials belong in their own timeslot IMO.:rotfl: :mad:

Not to worry, Lex looks bad w/ hair... :mad: Martha Kent and 'Forest Lawn' might be a match made in 'heaven', though... :rolleyes: OOOOh, OUCH!... That hurt. :eek:

Chill out a bit dude!
To be honest I was quite enthralled by the storyline and by the fact that vengeance is played by our very own Dennise Quiñones

Sooooo true, but the big PR and Media people will keep on throwing them at us as long as they (advertisers) pay the money....

:) Happy to bring a laugh.

[OutlawAngel]

The best product placement though for sure goes to that awesome Ford Fushion that Lois drives. I think that the Ford Fushion should be put in Schneider's spot on the credits

*fast forwards through credits and starts playing at the end*

and
.... Anette O'Toole ...........

.......... Ford Fushion
as The Ford Fushion.


I mean please Solitude was redicoulous 'If you have just joined us Clark's mom is dieing AND YOU CAN WIN THE AWESOME FORD FUSHION AS SEEN IN TONIGHTS EPISODE!!!!!'

I mean come on people.

I'm amazed there wasnt any casket company sponsoring Reckoning.

[SuperVan]

I wonder what they will try to sell next?

that the writers really do have hidden meanings behind every line of dialogue they spew out and up to speed on all of the major theories on physics (and science in general).
