my reality fix is back - with lots of blatant plugs

It's bad enough that I consciously follow a reality show - Project Runway - but now I have to sit through their full sentences about products on the program. If they give me one more plug about the shoe line or the car sponsor or the many other companies that sponsor them, I may have to shut the TV off. And de-program the DVR setting. Hear that reality show producers?

I know they're trying to find innovative ways to beat the DVR commercial fast-forward. But these plugs are incredibly annoying and totally boring. There's gotta be a more creative way to give the products attention.

And as for Project Runway...after so many seasons, everyone on the show just knows how it goes. The boys are constantly quoting Tim Gunn's "Make it work"... I think it's time for a new slogan, Tim. I know you got it in you...
