Hell’s Kitchen Product Placement Horror

Posted by pnear
TV and Movies

Hell’s Kitchen is back on the air, and we caught the feed from CityTV here in Toronto.  Near the end of the show there was a terrible, awful, horribly done product insert.  During a conversation in the condo between contestants there was a “Mr Sub” bag sitting on the table.  It was like a disembodied head floating on the table, an attempt at digital insertion gone horribly wrong.

I might switch to the Fox feed instead so that I can avoid silly stunts like that in the future.  I don’t mind them doing product placement at all, sombody’s gotta pay the bills.  Just don’t make it distract from the show.

Not allowed to vote in Simon's metadata session. Surprised by low demand for multilingual. Bad sample in NA? Or no demand? #otcontentworld
