Midol Product Placement in Days of Our Lives

[CharahForwood]

@clairebabybloo lol ik! They might as well just stare at the camera while talking about it, that's how obvious these things are! Lmao

[CharahForwood]

Lmao this is so stupid....they did it again on this weeks episode... Jen placed the bottle on the table, the camera zoomed in "I have Midol Complete...it relieves the cramps, bloating.." haha so stupid! Love the show but sometimes....seriously?

[clairebabybloo]

@CharahForwood haha you saw it too! i couldn't stop laughing! it was so akward watching it.

[Popteart]

@CharahForwood the one cheerios ad is the best.... when the camera zooms in, it plays some corny music.

[conceitedperson78]

Woah. That was way too blatant o.o

Sad.

THATS WHAT SHE SAID

[MsTreasuredChest]

it's like seinfeld

[fromthesidelines]

"Product placement" is nothing new: when sponsors bought entire half-hours (and some hour-long shows) in the late '40s, '50s and '60s, they often saw to it their product(s) were seen in the background- if it were an appliance manufacturer, they might be seen in kitchen settings, living rooms, et. al. If it was a cigarette, it was usually between the star's fingers. An automobile company? Right in the driveway....

[devon1975]

That was hilarious. I can't believe this is what it has come to...anyone else miss the 80's Bo and Hope? Meh.

[PMSNyx]

How did Colbert miss this one?

[razorlikeblue]

3 people have cramps, and don't keep Midol at their place of work

[DJCinthaBoy]

Women have bad taste in the arts. Thats why they like shit like this and Romantic Comedies.

[Felamine]

It's enough that shows have to have commercials in them. Now they have to put commercials inside the actual shows too?

[tjv323]

@Felamine without commercials, we'd have to pay to watch shows like this! oh wait...

[lordmaldad]

LOL

[ovywan08]

richard and sal's product placement's are funnier.....

[benxr2006]

oh god, the pain

[certifiedpet]

Welcome to the future of TV

[howtofaint]

@certifiedpet And yet also the past.

[MikeRat77]

I'm sorry, was there a product placement? I was too busy looking at the hotties.

[ScampiCheese]

booooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­ooooooooobs

booooooooobs

niiiiiiiiiiiiiips

huh? advertising?

[xQueenKristinx]

"dropping off the face of the universe"? the universe doesnt have a face. the phrase is "dropping of the face off the earth".

[grace317]

Fail

[cutieface2007]

thats so cheesy

[SEHANO]

what the heck happened to the good old days, when John and Marlena were still on and Days of Our Lives wasn't some ghastly hour-long advertisement? This girl was Theresa from "Passions"- I used to really like her character, too.

[kemichaud]

@SEHANO She was also just killed off of Days a couple weeks ago.

[SEHANO]

@kemichaud- thank goodness. Her character was starting to get pretty annoying. :-)

[ifuseekamy]

@kemichaud I can understand why - she was annoying as hell on Passions and even more annoying on here.

[GenXorcist1976]

@SEHANO

And you can find her on "All My Children"... where they don't do cheap promos, they tell STORIES. Granted, some may be recycled tripe (Ryan/Greenlee) but others are pure GOLD (Angie/Jesse).

[mesimson]

I've actually been utilizing a great deal of Midol in my own practice of late. I happen to be a urogynecologist by specialty, though this medication enjoys applications in a number of treatment protocols. Unfortunately, and older formula is no longer available, so the highly efficacious sympathomimetic agent based formulation cannot be utilized. While generalized efficacy measures are not as robust as they were under the whilom formulation, this medication in its current incarnation is useful.

[lonstar70]

@mesimson Um.....yeeeeah. Ok.

[SupaDupaCwazy]

lmao i love this show! I don't know why people get so annoyed about these things! They're hilarious in my opinion!

[kemichaud]

@SupaDupaCwazy They're hilarious, but I still couldn't help doing a head smack and then filming it. Thank you, DVR, for letting me rewind to do this!

[jd0828jd]

Oh, yeah, on the boobs, they are fake, she wasn't like that in Passions... but they look porportionate at least!

[kemichaud]

@jd0828jd Remember the Libman Swiffer "spot the mop" contests on Passions? Now THAT was bad!

[jd0828jd]

Seriously, is this a bad porno???

[BigDeezNU]

People, if you want to fight this, you're going to have to compromise and stop using TiVo to skip commercials. Otherwise, they'll just keep slipping this shit in till newscasters are drinking (and actively promoting) Star Bucks Coffee and they're making movies about how awesome some new cell phone is, or hero cars that save everybody and happen to all be GM vehicles.

Just kidding, they're already doing that with MSNBC, Cellular and Transformers.

[aznchicaa94]

wow. they even zoomed in to the product. saad

[carlsm65]

that may as well been a commercial

[alexandrateresa1]

lol, wtf?

[redcows619]

look at those boobs omg

[nhsgymnastics101]

omfgggg they forced itttttt...

[musicnvrdies]

thats embarrassing.

[kjz28]

Wow that is bad!

[bela516]

General Hospital was doing a bunch of Campbells soup and V8 Splash product placements for a while - for Heart Healthy month. It was very much awkward.

[Chobonaru]

What I find disturbing is that people actually watch soap operas.

[quixoto]

Honestly, when you show the product, say it's name, and have a character benefit from using it you cross a line past product-placement and you're pretty much just filming a full-fledged commercial.

[MagicalAnimal9000]

On one hand this seems awkward but look up the origin of soap operas and then it doesn't seem so far fetched

[myroncope]

If you look closely you can see the actors' souls disintegrating.

[quixoto]

@myroncope Yeah, I could stare at their souls all day.

;-)

What?

[jakejamieson33]

I wan't some fkn Midol

[jwsel]

This is bad, but not nearly as bad as the product placement for some frozen Chinese food they did more recently..

[DaysFan65]

Hey, whatever keeps the shows on the air. I can deal with 45 seconds of this mess if I still get to see Hope and Jennifer.

[grensno]

Hilarious!

[freaknkrazy]

WOW I remember seeing this, most blatant product placement ever.

[beckymomo]

Thank You. I was telling people how NUTS this was. Now I can show them.
