So, while Michael Bay gets a lot of the blame, Steven Spielberg had a hand in it, too.<br /><br />And I agree with you, Bethany. The advertisements in the middle of The Biggest Loser are amazingly annoying. That's one of the reasons I stopped watching it. That and it made me feel guilty for not working out. :)The Former 786https://www.blogger.com/profile/11836226718839989687noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7581616465275988775.post-36015005974598777832011-07-28T10:58:48.586-06:002011-07-28T10:58:48.586-06:00Apparently, Alison loves shows with obvious and an...Apparently, Alison loves shows with obvious and annoying product placement.

I think it was pepsi (or coke) and Nikes (or Reeboks.) I just remember thinking.
