Nissan Versa. Nissan Versa.
Never before have I seen such blatant product placement in a 텔레비전 show until the 일 I saw the pilot episode. Every time I see that Nissan Versa 또는 the mention of it on the show makes me cringe. The 사과, 애플 iPod video was a little less blatant, but irritating nonetheless. Product placement has been creeping up on us for years now, but recently it has become 더 많이 and 더 많이 prolific finding its way from film to 텔레비전 and now even into video games (Did 당신 see that giant Coca-Cola billboard go 의해 when 당신 were gunning down grannies in Grand Theft Auto? Sneaky bastards). Sometimes it's very subtle without us knowing that the companies have subliminally programmed us to grab a 콜라 from the fridge at the 7-Eleven instead of a Pepsi. But othertimes, it's a bit too in your face, in this case having Hiro and Ando mentioning the Nissan Versa in conversation and praise and constant shots of the little blue car. It obviously adds nothing to the show but a disgusting plug for a new car from Nissan. That ends up leaving a bad taste in everyone's mouth including the people who might buy said Nissan Versa. It looks like Nissan has paid the folks over at Desperate Housewives a pretty penny as well, having their emblem show up twice in the last episode. So much for artistic integrity.
I'm hoping that they just had deals and sponsorships signed for the first season and that they will end there. The last thing I would want to see is Nathan Petrelli flying in a pair of Dockers khakis. 또는 Matt Parkman soothing his headaches from all the voices from mind-reading with Advil. 또는 Hiro Nakamura checking his Rolex watch when he stops time. We already saw our hero James Bond sellout to BMW and Ericsson. Please Mr. Kring, I implore 당신 for the 사랑 of all that is creative and genuine, don't let these 히어로즈 become another billboard.
