A Titanic Of A Product Placement

A Titanic Of A Product Placement

If you're a viewer of Bones (and I know most of you aren't) then you'll realize how much product placement was tagged in there for the upcoming flop Avatar. First of all, a sincere apology from sound stage 6. That was really bad and I didn't notice how heavy handed it was going to be when it was broadcast. Very much cringe worthy.

So here's a little video to mock the whole god damn piece of shit movie that, even though I collect a pay check from the company who is bringing you it, I still think it's going to flop. So here you go. How James Cameron got it made with all those special effects..

Touching Tits For A Good Cause

Touching Tits For A Good Cause

There's nothing I stand firmly for more than I do boobs. I like to believe that I'm a big supporter of them. Really, it's true. Crude puns aside, I think it's Breast Cancer awareness month. Either that or everyone accidently slipped a red shirt into their laundry load of whites, because I'm seeing pink ribbons, shirts and other associated brands all over the place. Which leads me to question one thing, when isn't it breast cancer awareness month?

Didn't I go to a Breast Cancer awareness event just in July? What about when all those Baseball players played with a pink Bat? Was that not breast cancer awareness events? Maybe this is just social commentary in the sense that breast are always on everyone's mind, and thus it's Always breast cancer awareness month.. Cause we're always aware of them. ( . Y . ) Yes. I just went there. What? I'm immature. You should know this by now.



On to some serious news - Jaime King has teamed up to write and product Tit for Tat, a breast cancer awareness campaign in partnership with Stand Up 2 Cancer to bring about a great deal of PSA's to help encourage women to give themselves test and better know their breast so they can tell if there's any differences or lumps to be found.

While I do not have breast to be concerned about, I'd like to think that I keep them close to my heart whenever possible... (ok, that one wasn't intended. I swear) and I'm all for the discovery of the cure that could better improve the quality of life as well as bring to light the methods of breast cancer prevention and early detection whenever possible.



While I hate all forms of energy drinks because it shows a lack of self powered bootstraps, I can't help but think that this companies heart was in the right place. A pink lemonade energy drink made for females with a lot of vitamins that you females seem to lack, named Her Energy, is sponsoring a six-month, six-episode viral campaign for breast cancer prevention and early detection. Which yet again doesn't help me wonder how often it's breast cancer awareness month..

The first PSA, The Booby Scare, was shot a couple of weeks back and it stars Jaime King, Emily Deschanel, Minka Kelly, Katherine McPhee, and Alyson Hannigan. Two of those on the list are some of my favorite people so it's easy to see that besides BOOBS, why this story caught my eye. So be on the look out for The Booby Scare. A film that you would expect to be placed behind a curtain, but in this case.. nah, it's on the internet. In fact, here you go..



See, now wasn't that fun? Emily and Alyson touching... ok, this is for science.. I have to remember that.. FOR SCIENCE!! only.. I mean, you could have a much cruder commercial if you really wanted to. You could always create awareness through some pretty sleaze method, at least this way allowed you to get your celebrity fix on and didn't pander to the "OMG, LOOK, TITS!" crowd. Unlike this ad...



Tits.. it's what's for dinner.. Wait, what? Let's declare it Booobtober! Yeah, there you go. Though I do want to remind you folks that it is October and there's nothing more scary than breast cancer... well, prostate/colon cancer is pretty high up there, but checking for that leaves you with a finger up your ass. So, perhaps that shouldn't be something you try to do yourself.

I suppose if you really want to be crude in your marketing for breast cancer, you could do what the folks in the Netherlands did with their breast cancer awareness ads

Yup, another breast cancer ad designed to reduce women to their tits.. Great! It sometimes makes you question if we even care about saving women's lives or if we just care about saving a pair of breast from being uneven... Either way, check your boobs, ladies. It's great for your health!

Must See TV: Going Back To Philly/A Bone To Pick

Must See TV: Going Back To Philly/A Bone To Pick

I suppose I shouldn't be surprised that we are finally getting the fall season of television back again. I have been working on some of the productions you will be seeing tonight as well as in the coming weeks of new episodes on the air.

First off we have Bones. The show that Fox just seems to keep around because.. well because there's nothing else to show on Thursday night.. or whatever wacky night they seem to want to air it. It's always a toss up. It's the start of the 5th season and I know what you're thinking.. What is Bones? So for those of you who haven't seen it on Fox and fail to watch it on TNT, here it is in a nutshell.

The show tells the story of a series of case files, solved weekly, by an unlikely alliance between Dr. Temperance "Bones" Brennan's (Emily Deschanel) forensic anthropology team at the Jeffersonian Institution (a thinly veiled allusion to the Smithsonian Institution) and FBI Special Agent Seeley Booth (David Boreanaz). By examining the human remains of the murder victims, Dr. Brennan's team provides scientific expertise and an outsider's perspective to the world of criminal investigation to the FBI. In addition to the murder cases featured in each episode, the series explores the backgrounds and relationships of the major characters including the developing friendship and possibly romantic relationship between Brennan and Booth.

Now the romantic aspect of this show has been going on forever. It's one of those cases where they were going to finally get it on last season but the powers that be (fox executives) felt the need to ask the creative to push that back. Why? Well, they felt that without the sexual tension you, the viewers wouldn't have a reason to tune in.

As if watching it to see David Boreanaz not act like a brooding vampire and smile wasn't reason enough. You also have Emily Deschanel on the show and really is remarkably beautiful. Now for the pervs out there, I've held myself back from making a joke about her handling bones all day. So see, I'm behaving myself.



A little fun fact, Emily Deschanel is big sister to Zooey Deschanel. Clearly that family bloodline has the mysterious "Oh my god, so fucking hot" gene. And while I'm around the set a lot, the fact that teases me is that they have been trying, so very hard, to get Zooey to come on as a special guest star as Bone's causin on screen. Yes, that my friends, would make it a Dream Job.

Since I already broke the NDA and told you that, how about another nugget. The 100th episode (it's been 84 to air so far), they're thinking of doing a flash back episode (you know there wont be any advancing the sexual tension that way) and showing us how Booth and Brennan interacted on their first tag-team assignment. If you're a fan of the show, you'd know that whenever it's referenced, their first encounter with each other was not a pleasant one.

Then over on the cable network F/X we have the return of It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia



Which.. well, if you're not familiar with the show, it's one of the most funniest things on TV. And if you have issues with watching a show because it may get canceled.. don't worry, this show has had episode orders to last another two seasons worth of shows. It's just that good.

What's the sum up of this sucker? It's about a bunch of self centered jerks who do everything for their own benefit and the comedy (of errors) that ensues in the process of it. It's great, you'll love it.. I don't need to sell you more on it other than to show you this clip.



And if that doesn't do it, then what the hell, man. What's wrong with you? You used to be cool... Where's your comedy funny bone at? Do I need to sell you with sex? Well, how about the fact that the cast of the show is always drinking. I mean.. ALWAYS. On the show, in interviews, on the set, hell, they're drunk right now. I'm sure of it. More than likely having a blast and do you know why? Because they know how to work.



I hope that experience makes it to the sequel to An Erotic Life. And before you ask, yes, that's Captain Mal's wife and Mad Men secretary Christina Hendricks. Clearly Dennis has his hands full..

So basically this blog post has been a complete shill since I work for the company that produces both of these and I have had a hand in both of these shows in the magical process of getting from creatives mind to your television set. Man, I'm a sell out, aren't I?
