I am watching last year's version of Hamlet and the first scene when Hamlet's friends see his father's ghost there is a monsterous Pepsi One machine behind them. It was absurd. I know product placement is unbelievably common now, but this was a bit much. You think a version of Hamlet, regardless of the time it is set in, could avoid a Pepsi ad. Damn.
