iProduct Placement: Zack and Miri Make a Porno

Not exactly hot under the collar to see this movie, since by most accounts it is a rom-com gone wrong, but Zack and Miri Make a Porno is a hotbed for Apple product placement.

The trailer features an ailing iBook, showing us exactly how desperate our two young friends are for cash. The movie also has a part for Justin Long, “Get a Mac” Apple adman as a gay porno star, leaving at least one person to suggest the actor is an Apple endorsement, too.

Ooh. I’ve got the same computer. My five-year-old uses it to play System 9 games on….

I was amused by the (nearly 10 year old) G3 iBook, but I have a hard time seeing how a small role for Justin Long counts as a product placement. (Do all of Justin Long’s performances now count as Apple product placements?)
Now if you wanted to tell me they were using Apple software to cut the movie together in the penultimate scene, maybe that I could buy. (Unfortunately, I am not familiar enough with Final Cut Pro to tell whether that was the case — maybe on a second viewing.)
The movie was funny, though. (By the way, if you don’t stay until halfway through the credits, you haven’t seen the real ending.)

Justin Long sucks.

@ Matt
As a gay porn star you would hope so…

Justin Long (perfect name for it) naked with Apple products? I’d totally watch that porno. (with my iBrator close at hand).
