Amusing, but also disturbing: I was Googling for Commercial Alert's work on
product placement, and Google offered me four different firms eager to help me get my product on film sets, in celebrity hands, etc. "Guerilla marketing" is such a troubling concept in so many ways, part of the overall
Conquest of Cool. Is there any kind of rebellion that can't be literally sold to us?
I remember having a similar thought in the late '60s, the first time I saw a Che Guevara poster for sale in a head shop.
