There's not much I dislike more on TV or in the movies than product placement.

The hat he's wearing is for sale at one of his campaign sites. CBS is providing free advertising for the hat, and thus the campaign. How much of a contribution is that to the campaign?

I turned off one of the "Jurassic Park" films a few weeks ago, because it was nothing but advertising for an amusement park. I'm not going to watch product placement just because it is being called news.

In Scotland, anyone looking for ball caps or hotel rooms had to pay full price. In Finland, anyone shopping for America’s dignity or security gets free shipping. #TreasonSummit

2. Yeah, joke from when I was a kid.

There was a city in Japan named Usa, and therefore things made there could be labeled "made in the USA."
