Product Placement

When advertising something it's all about placement. And yes, I have a very juvenile sense of humor at times. Here is the unfortunate Olympic diver, Tom Daly, sporting his new suit with the logo for his new sponsor, British Gas. I just have to wonder what they were thinking when they designed this get up. Poor Tom, I'm sure he'd rather be talked about for winning the UK's first diving medal in a zillion years. Enjoy your day!

      I nearly choked when I saw this right there on my newsfeed. I was dumbstruck that the advert people had done this. I mean the thing isn't a lot of real estate but there are the sides. ;)

    I could definitely see why it would be intentional on the part of the advertisers. He does have an exceedingly nice rear.

    You know, I like to think it's deliberate :) Though I now think that all viral/accidental marketing is engineered, I've become a cynic :P

      I've become cynical myself. There's so many viral videos now, it's hard to believe that all that happens au natural. :)
