Prostitution, Coke and American Idol
This year in season seven of the much overrated show American Idol advertisers Coke, Ford and others are rumored to paying upwards of 35 million dollars each for product tie-ins, regular commercials and product placement on and during the show. It has been said that Simon, Randy and Paula have negotiated new record setting deals this year to be seen regularly enjoying fine Coca-Cola products from classy giant red Coca-Cola cups, and while doing this, they will be seated in front of new, large uber-classy Coca-Cola posters and placards. Some sources say they are enjoying a three way split on an estimated three million plus dollars just for the cup and sign thing during the show's regular business of making and crushing the dreams of America's tone-deaf youth. I don't really have a problem with product placement, but this level of payola is bordering on the obscene, I mean, really...a million plus for pretending to enjoy Coke?(Paula has be criticized in the past for hoisting a very obviously empty cup and fake drinking) A cool mill and change for hoisting said giant red cup to your face every 8.2 minutes while the show airs? ONE MILLION plus for sitting and smiling like a dumb animal in front of a Coke poster add? How do I get in on this? Seriously Coke, you should holler at a brother...I'll do things with a Coke cup that will blow your mind...and for a lot less. I will take this product placement thing to a whole new level. Coke, you should call me, seriously, you don't want to know the things I'll do for my cut of the payout. I'm cheaper then Randy, kinder than Simon and way less batshit crazy than Paula. Have your people call my people, I will begin waiting by the phone immediately.
