ADAGE - Mar 13 - The most-talked about aspect of Lady Gaga's music video for "Telephone," which premiered Thursday night, was the product placement. At least nine different brands make appearances in the nine-minute music video. Several of the brands were Gaga's ideas and did not pay to be included. A scene in which Gaga curls her hair with Diet Coke cans was an homage to her mother, who used the exact same grooming technique in the '70s. PlentyofFish.com, a dating site, also makes a surprise appearance, the result of ongoing talks with Gaga's marketing team at Universal Music to find the right project. PlentyofFish had seen a 15% increase in search by close of business Friday, but wasn't yet able to quantify an increase in traffic. FULL ARTICLE @ ADAGE

I think we are going to see more and more product placement in the entertainment industry, films already cover substantial costs doing it, looks like music is next & gaming can only follow.
