I agree, how pathetic showing Coke cans with label always facing camera unobstructed by fingers holding can etc, yet when a beer can is held or a wins bottle shown the label is faced away from the camera or hidden by fingers holding it. How much practice did the actors need to get this right? Continuity was out because of it. Pathetic TV production ethics. Don't you know Coke is bad for your teeth?!

I know, right, and Domino's pizza on the fridge at Carbo's and the box at Jakes and everywhere else!? There were a stack more too - I just can't think. Blocked it from my mind or something. It was really obvious, really offputting, really dumb. Took us right out of the story - and became an "I Spy" competition. Bah..

during the scene with julie and Dave, with the"share a coke with mum" coke can in clear view, I didn't even hear what they were on about, I spent the whole time talking about the pathetic placement with my family.

It is a big deal because it's distracting and takes away from the show. And makes the show look like they're taking cheap grabs for money... while they can I guess, since the show is losing popularity.
I still like some aspects of the show, especially the dynamics with coby, jake and his bro, and coby's sister. I don't like Tom though.
I just think blatant product placement is lame lame lame. And you can't make it more blatant than PTTR has.

It's just a shame.... That everything we watch on tv has become just a giant advertisement, even just then I was watching sunrise, and they had the "slimers of the year", and all it was, was a giant scripted advertisement for weight watchers. We don't need product placement in rafters, it's tacky and honestly, so obvious that it is disrupting what once was the best show on tv.
