Product Placement in Video Games
klaun writes: "Yahoo has a Reuters article about product placement in games. Seems that paid placements are no longer that popular because they don't work. The audience is to sensitive to advertisement being 'crammed down their throat.' Wonder what slashdot thinks of product placement." I actually like ads in games, whether they're spoofs or real, so long as they fit the context of the game.
Sorry, you gotta try
Me fail English? That's unpossible!
Slashdot is probably my favorite game to play, even with the ads on top. Fortunately, I bring my own product placement with me - Click Here for More Life

Alan Thicke, I really like your posts, keep it :-)
up and count me as a fan
You're an idiot.
A moron of the highest order. You're so stupid it's a wonder you can
remember to breathe. Intelligent ideas bounce off your head as if it
were coated with Teflon. Creative thoughts take alternate transportation
in order to avoid even being in the same state as you. If you had an
original thought it would die of loneliness before the hour was out.
On an intelligence scale of 1 to 10 (10 corresponding to the highest
attainable IQ) your rating is so far into negative numbers that one
would need to travel into another quantum reality in order to even catch
a distant glimpse of it. Your personality is that of a rabid Chihuahua
intent on destroying its own tail. You are walking, talking proof that
you don't have to be sentient to survive.
You are wholly without any redeeming social grace or value. If God
ever decides to give the planet an enema you'd better run like the wind
because anywhere you stand is a suitable place for The Insertion. There
is no animal so disgusting, so vile, that it deserves comparison to you,
for even the lowest, dirtiest, most parasitic member of the animal
kingdom fills an ecological niche. You fill no niche. To call you a
parasite would be injurious to the thousands of honest parasitic
species.
You are worse than vermin, for vermin do not pretend to be what it is
not. You are truly human garbage. You are a fraudulent, lying, predatory charlatan. You are of less worth than a burnt-out light bulb. You will
forever live in shame. You have nothing intelligent to say, and Godwin's
Law does not apply when writing about you.
Mothers gather their children close when you appear. You are
an aberration, a corruption, and a boil that needs to be lanced. You are
a poison in need of being vomited. You are a tooth so rotten it infects
the whole body. You are sperm that should have been captured in a condom and flushed down a toilet. I don't like you. I don't like anybody who has as little respect for others as you do. Go away, you swine.
You're a putrescent mass, a walking vomit. You are a spineless little
worm deserving nothing but the profoundest contempt. You are a jerk, a
cad, and a weasel. Your life is a monument to stupidity. You are a stench, a revulsion, a big suck on a sour lemon. You are a curdled staggering mutant dwarf smeared richly with the effluvia and offal
accompanying your alleged birth into this world. Meaningful to no one,
abandoned by the puke-drooling, giggling beasts that sired you and then killed themselves in recognition of what they had done.
I will never get over the embarrassment of belonging to the same species as you. I barf at the very thought of you. You have all the appeal of a paper cut. Lepers avoid you. You are vile, worthless, less than nothing. You are a weed, a fungus, the dregs of this earth. And did I mention you smell? Monkeys look down on you. Even sheep won't have sex with you. You are unreservedly pathetic, starved for attention, and lost in a land that reality forgot. You are a waste of flesh. You are ridiculous and obnoxious. You are the moral equivalent of a leech. You are a living emptiness, a meaningless void. You are sour and senile. You are a disease. You puerile one-handed slack-jawed drooling meat-slapper.
On a good day, you're a halfwit. You are deficient in all that lends character. You have the personality of wallpaper. You are dank and filthy. You are asinine and benighted. You are the source of all
unpleasantness. You spread misery and sorrow wherever you go.
You are a fiend and a coward, and you have bad breath. You are degenerate, noxious and depraved. I feel debased just for knowing you exist. I despise everything about you, and I wish you would go away. I
cannot believe how incredibly stupid you are.
Try to edit your responses of unnecessary material before attempting to impress us with your insight. The evidence that you are a moron will still be available to readers, but they will be able to access it more rapidly.
The only thing worse than your logic are your manners. Your attempt at constructing a creative post was pitiful. I mean, really, stringing together a bunch of insults among a load of babbling was hardly effective. Maybe later in life, after you have learned to read, write, spell, and count, you will have more success. True, these are rudimentary skills that many of us "normal" people take for granted. But we sometimes forget that there are "challenged" persons in this world who find these things more difficult. If I had known that this was your case then I would have never read your post. It just wouldn't have been "right". Sort of like parking in a handicap space. I wish you the best of luck in the emotional and social struggles that seem to be placing such a demand on you.
Have a great day, Loser.

Today I notice Slashdot is down 10% of the time. If you were using a real webserver like IIS under Windows 2000 you wouldn't have these scalabilty problems.

The worst and most blatent product placement in recent memory was in the movie The Fast and the Furious. Guy goes to other guys house, "You want a beer? You can drink whatever you want, as long as its a Corona!" Proceeds to go to guys fridge, EVERY beer is a Corona (and this is a houseparty with like 30 people). Everyone's drinking Corona and having a jolly good time. Wonder how much they paid for that 20 min scene.
Naw,
But they still are doing it.
