Hollywood unions seek curb on product promotions - Yahoo! News

Hollywood unions seek curb on product promotions

"Two Hollywood unions called for new limits on the practice of weaving commercial brands into the story lines of movies and TV shows, saying so-called product placement has gotten out of hand.

The Writers Guild of America and the Screen Actors Guild also called for the actors and writers who do the extra product-promotion work to be paid more. The unions said serious ethical and financial questions were raised by a recent proliferation of product placements, which they said grew by 44 percent in films and 84 percent in television last year."

Good job, actors...but will it be enough?

Did they come up with alternatives or just ask the studios to forgo a lot of money? I don't like product placements overall either, but there has to be a trade-off. People haven't been going to the movies as much this year, and if we're going to get movies produced, they have to rake in cash somehow.

What does everyone else think??
