You know, this used to bother me too until I realized that I'm just as bad in real life. Coke vs Pepsi? You better believe it's Coke. Audi logo on the car? I'd LOVE to be sporting an Audi logo. I love my Kenneth Cole watch and I've gotten complements on it when I'm out. I just purchased a new food processor and I'm actually excited that it's KitchenAid so that I can put it next to my great KitchenAid blender. If I had the bling I'd be all over a SubZero refigerator. I see guys in the home improvement store and I tell them how much I like my DeWalt 12" sliding compound miter saw. Hand tools? Only buy Craftsman with a lifetime replacement warranty if anything goes wrong.
So yeah, product placement actually happens in my real life. Heck, it's worse in real life because I pimp shit without getting paid. I do generally draw the line at logo-wear though. A guy's gotta have standards.
