My favorite part of the Johnson's Wax Program with Fibber McGee and Molly is the product placement done by the eponymous sponsor of the show.  At the beginning and end of the program, it's done in normal radio advertisement, but interstitially the product is hawked by a character named Harlow Wilcox, one of the McGee's neighbors.  He is fucking psychopathic about Johnson's Self-Polishing Glo Coat and will unfailing steer every conversation, regardless of original subject, toward the object of his bizarre obsession.

What's interesting is that, as much as we complain about product placement, it's really more or less the same as it ever was.  All the way back in 1941, there were completely out-of-place shills for media sponsors; except back then they were a lot funnier about it.

But now it's more subtle, lingering shots of the back of somebody's apple laptop and the like.

Been listening to a sampling of Smiths songs. Agree with QQ's troll, they don't sound interesting. :thumbsdown:
