Thanks for adding to our little discussion here. <br /><br />I felt totally like a conspiracy theorist writing this piece, but it just seems too too perfect. Everyone, even celebs, are out to make a buck and product placement is so rampant these days. I just couldn't help but to question the authenticity on this. <br /><br />I appreciate the "crazy smart" vote! Thanks so much for taking the time to weigh in, Jennifer!Words Done Writehttp://wordsdonewrite.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2031530258657685977.post-70669402355366235382010-11-01T23:29:54.201-07:002010-11-01T23:29:54.201-07:00Crazy smart.

They are about as believable as a couple as Jackson and Presley were.Jennifer Palaishttp://twitter.com/JenniferPalaisnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2031530258657685977.post-89511697023160029232010-10-31T19:44:40.328-07:002010-10-31T19:44:40.328-07:00Thanks for chiming in.

I don't believe it's all around the cup. But, it's not even slightly off to the side, it's front and center. That's what gets me. <br /><br />As for Scientology, people disappear making jokes about that.

Because the odds of "perfect placement" obviously increase if the BR is all over it. Second question - do Tom and Katie really need any more money?
