'Planet 51'

Took a small break away from PRP essay and went to the cinema - watched Planet 51

And even when I was having a break, I could not get away from work!

I think product placement is something I have read soo much about in the past 3 months, I can't help but look for them in movies - it kind of ruined my life.

Even in a kids movie, I saw the typical American astronaut eat a Twix bar on a different planet; hippie aliens drove round in a hover Volkswagen, and our astronaut verbally mentioned facebook.

Commercials are creeping into our daily lives and you just don't know how much of it is out there - has it always been like this or have I just started noticing?

Scary.
