I know, I am supposed to have a link to verify my story, so here it is: Hulu - Watch your favorites. Anytime. For free.. Do a search for Modern Family.
Anyways, I was watching the new show, "Modern Family", with Ed O'Neill (aka Al Bundy from Married...with Children) and I noticed that they had three different Macs in the show - a Macbook Pro, an iMac, and a Macbook. The funny thing was that all three of the respective Apple logos were covered up with a sicker of some sort. I was wondering why this is? No permission from Apple perhaps? It seems like free advertising to me but maybe Apple doesn't want it's logo associated with a show where two gay guys are raising a kid? I don't think that is the case for I can imagine that Apple has quite a few gay customers. The funny thing is that it was painfully obvious that it was an iMac. It's kinda hard to confuse that with another computer. The Macbook and Macbook Pro took a sharp eye to recognize, but it was a no brainer for me.
Anybody in the TV/Film industry able to shed some light on this subject?
On a side note: I just received my refurbished 21.5" iMac in the mail yesterday and I am like a kid on Xmas. Upgrading from a 20" 2.0 ghz iMac - this new screen is so bright and colorful and it is quick as a bunny.
