Welcome to today’s daily kōrero!
Anyone can make the thread, first in first served. If you are here on a day and there’s no daily thread, feel free to create it!
Anyway, it’s just a chance to talk about your day, what you have planned, what you have done, etc.
So, how’s it going?
I’ve got a 6 year old wanting to go to the movies, and Barbie has crossed my mind. But we are a pretty ad-free house. The idea of taking them to see two hours of doll advert just doesn’t sit right with me, even if the movie is highly rated.
Man, I can relate… Although we just watched the latest transformers movie with the kids and there’s a reference right at the end to GI Joe - quote from Mr. 12 was “Gee, product placement much? I guess that’s their next movie franchise” He’s a cynical little bugger, lol, proud dad moment!
Haha yeah, product placement is pretty prevalent in anything. If you see something you recognise, a can of coke, an Apple logo, the characters walk past a McDonald’s; the company paid for it to be there. I notice a huge amount of product placement when I’m looking for it.
