Stupid Product Placements

I know that the movie industry has to get advertising support; it's a fact of life. I liked the way MacDonald's was handled in the Fifth Element, updated and Lexxified, and we are all used to seeing the brand name on computer shots. [b]But[/b]...

For some reason this grates on me. The only reason the chick in Blade: Trinity listens to music while "hunting" is so that they can plug the Ipod over and over and over. [i]The entire movie seems to be a commercial for Ipod.[/i]

I would have liked to have seen more Blade in it than Ipod, but that's just me.

Okay, anyone else have a gripe about a ridiculous product placement ruining your suspension of disbelief? Anyone?
