Selling out: Product Placement in Songs.

It seems that some entrepreneurial songwriters  are approaching companies with offers to mention  products and brands in  their song lyrics.  When a misguided PR exec sent an email offering such  a service  to  Jeff Crouse of the Anti-Advertising Agency and Double Happiness Jeans… Crouse decided to Blog it.  The PR guy  asked Crouse to remove the post and some comments it generated.  But when Crouse declined, the PR guy threatened litigation.  This Article from Wired tells the story.  Hat tip to Tamera Bennett for bringing this to my attention.
