Do you consider paid product placement to be intrusive?

This is very interesting. I too, find this quite disturbing. I can't say I am surprised though, with the advent of TiVo and DVR; companies just can't rely on TV commercials to get the job done anymore. By the way, thanks for what you do on this site. As a new Accounting grad who wishes he had changed his major to marketing, this site is quite helpful and extremely interesting. - Dan
