I keep hearing about product placement on SoaP, but the only one that stuck out was the Playstation 2. What other ones were there?
Buffista Movies 5: Development Hell
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.
From SoaP, I remember Red Bull as well. There were a few others, but I can't think of them right now.
Also, sporks.
There was a can of Sprite that rolled down the aisle after the co-pilot got snaked. There was the Colavita olive oil that saved an adorable child from getting snaked. The Purell hand sanitizer that didn't save anyone from getting snaked.
FWIW, the herpetologist who was showing off his 20ft ball python at Arisia two years back kept several bottles of Listerine mouthwash close at hand. If the python had started trying to attack (squeeze, bite, etc) someone, he or his spotter would have poured it over the snake's head, as they really really don't like it.
Note that the python was two or three days before shedding, which means that it was relatively listless and calm, so he judged it safe to be handled by strangers, but he had an experienced snakehandler standing nearby for safety's sake. Clearly he knows his business.
For the record, I would not want mouthwash poured on my head either.
But I'll remember this detail, next time I am in single combat with a python.
I like it when mouthwash gets poured over my head. It's tingly. Admittedly, it'd probably distract me from squeezing/biting.
...why does that sound like the very beginning of a personals ad?
...why does it sound like Gris has actual personal experience with mouthwash being poured over his head?
Gris, were you trying to squeeze or bite someone?
Gris, were you trying to squeeze or bite someone?
...and were you shedding your skin?
