Carolly, this "product integration" is hardly new. Go watch Back to the Future some time. Count how many times Michael J. Fox drinks a Pepsi Free, or how many times we see the J.C. Penney sign at the mall. That movie was made in 1985. And it was a huge hit that didn't seem to turn anybody off with its ads.
I use my own products in my art. I'm going to continue to use them. If for no other reason than I own them! Am I expected to go out and puchase someone else's products to use instead of my own? It seems a little silly if you ask me. I have never had anything moved (thank you), so I guess I'm not a serious offender. But things like this worry me. Sometimes this place gathers too much steam to get out of its own way.
