In Monday night's episode of "Two and a Half Men," Ashton Kutcher is shown using a laptop festooned with decals. CBS received no compensation for the advertising, but Kutcher did.
According to this Variety article, those decals promote Internet companies the actor has a real-life financial stake in. They include Foursquare, Flipboard, GroupMe and Hipmunk.
Bing: More about "Two and a Half Men"
Wow, thats a sneaky move. Here are some suggestions for products we think should be snuck into the TV shows we watch.
1. "Real Housewives of (Pick One)"
E-A-R Earplugs in the ears of all those poor husbands. Just thinking about the hell those shlubs must go through because they wanted steady sex when they were 25-years old, makes us want to send them several pair.
2. "Jersey Shore"
Although Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi thinks the cure for a hangover is to drink more, we know it's that combination of acetaminophen, aspirin and caffeine known as Excedrin, a bottle of which should be displayed prominently in every morning scene as a public service announcement for the idiots who mimic everything this cast does.
3. "16 and Pregnant"
Little packages of Trojans placed around the subjects' living rooms by the production crew, while the subjects aren't looking.
4. "Toddlers & Tiaras"
Commercials for "To Catch a Predator" airing throughout the broadcasts. Enough said.
5. "Celebrity Rehab"
Multiple buckets of Los Pollos Hermanos chicken delivered to the next batch of celebrity patients by "Breaking Bad" actor Aaron Paul in character as Jesse Pinkman. Nowthat would blow more minds than blue meth.
