I checked with a friend that works for CBS. He says that if a trademark is seen in a non-News show, it's paid, period. Fees range from $10 to thousands per show.
Me being me, I have to ask:
What do I get for $10? Like, a nanosecond of exposure?
I think it's about petty money grubbing. Annoying, IMO. But then again, I think seeing a character "coincidentally" grabbing a soda can so the label shows perfectly to the audience every time totally detracts from the character's credibility.
Are all those zany things that happen on sitcoms really true?
Yes, absolutely. Thay're also precognitive!
You catch the episode of "Center Of The Universe", last week? The pudgy kid fails at all the things he tries, then tries fencing. He ends up on his back, with another kid poking him repeatedly with a foil.
Then, Fri nite, my housemate (a John Goodman-sized guy) informs me that his grandson is trying fencing. The kid is a total klutz...
Now if only someone would pay me to walk around with an Apple logo plastered to my forehead...
