Do you think it was deliberate or addicental that American Spirits and Corona were mentioned during it? Just curious.

    I don't think it was a typo :)

    A writer can mention a product without it being "product placement." No money need exchange hands. I think the writer specified brands because he felt like specifying brands. No other reason.

    I see your point but then again, couldn't the writer say ed smoked cigs and we shared some beers? seems a tad fishy.

    I'm sure it was not deliberate product placement as most writer's like to be as descriptive as possible...

    its called descriptive writing.

    your the guy that let his friend talk him into leaving 10/31 after the first encore yeah ?

    you should be worried about a lot more than "product placement". start with the the therapy bills that will no doubt start pourning in about a year from now when people are still talking about how great the last encore was. ;)
