Consumerist spotted an especially egregious one: In this How I Met Your Mother repeat, behind Robin you can see a stack of books and a magazine with an ad for Kevin James‘ new comedy Zookeeper. There aren’t even any books in the original shot!
This kind of retroactive product placement feels creepily invasive, because it’s not as if the creators or stars of the shows ever had any say in what was getting advertised. More »

According to audience member reports, Tracy called gay people “mistakes,” accused lesbianism of being fake, spoke out against Lady Gaga‘s “Born This Way,” and even threatened to kill his own son if he ever came out.

Get Caught Up on ’30 Rock’ Before Tonight’s Season 5 Finale
