Great post OP. They are unashamedly blatant aren't they?

Here in the UK product placement on commercial television was given the green light recently (some point within the last couple of years IIRC), not sure if its in place yet or not, I haven't noticed anything quite as blatant as these though, and am worried if it goes that way!

On the other hand though, if they're anything like these, then for sheer comedy value it might be fun!
