Just how far can you take the concept of “product placement” in movies?
A director and his star / lover are on their way to Miami International to catch a flight to New York to sign a product placement deal for their new indie movie, “Invasion of the Biscayne Babies” when the drawbridge on the Venetian Causeway suddenly goes up, blocking their way.

I think the concept of “product placement” is one of the most easily satirized ideas I’ve ever imagined. You can take the concept to such extremes that if I ever get the opportunity, I will make a feature film with the evil gravitas of “The Big Sleep,” but every other line would contain a plug for some product.
