Tuesday 13 July 2004, by Vincent : What the hell is this all about? He wants to create a Home Depot Angel TV show? Tuesday 13 July 2004, by Anonymous : The difference is that the sponsoring with NASCAR is right in the middle of everything. You see a brand on a car right during the most spectscular chrashes and etc. With Angel commercials are given specific blocks to seperate them from the show. Now if Angel saved someone cleartly wearing Nikey shoes while getting a Heineken after this might get us to buy the same stuff. After all just as the NASCAR drivers ride in that brand car, Angel uses it in the show. It wouldt be so bad for Joss Whedon to go all James Bond in its advertising if it helps keep the show on the air, even James Bond never did it as blatantly as SWAT though :). Wednesday 14 July 2004, by JJJ2U : What a viciously accurate article! I feel so foolish not to have thought of it. I guess the next time an "Angel" or "Buffy" comes along we need to organize our buying and let the sponsers know who is spending the money.Thursday 15 July 2004, by Anonymous : I wouldt have a problem with Angel shopping at Home Depot if it would have helped it get a 6th season...Friday 16 July 2004, by Anonymous : Actually, in both Buffy and Angel, there was advertising for atleast one major corporation in the shows themselves. Apple computers. Every single computer in the Buffyverse is an Apple. Willow’s laptop, the computer Buffy uses as councellor...etc.These comments are an anwser to this article : Are NASCAR Fans Smarter Than We Are ? (angel mention)
