A documentary about branding, advertising and product placement that is financed and made possible by brands, advertising and product placement.
The few reviews so far have been a little on the positive side of "meh." Apparently it is pretty funny, if nothing else.

There's product placement in entertainment? OH MY GOD. What will Spurlock uncover next? That eating too much fast food is bad for you??

I found it entertaining. If you're a fan of Spurlock's work (Super-Size Me, 30 Days), then you'll probably enjoy this.
Also, it made my wife and I want to try POM Wonderful. We went to buy some, but the checkout lines were too long, so we'll probably get it next time we go shopping.
