So last night I'm watching Anthony Bourdain's No Reservations from Istanbul and he's eating with his spotter and when the persons asks for payment, Anthony goes ' I Got this one', pulls out his Chase Sapphire card and the camera stays on just the card for a few seconds and goes to commercial to guess what? A Chase Sapphire commerical. bad bad bad. Totally disgusting product placement - when it's forced, it seems so much worse. Anyone else see this? Fans on his facebook page are all over it too.

That was really, really ham handed. I've long thought he's been mailing these in just so he can work on his books, but this one (especially w/the in show ad) was really near the bottom of the barrel.

I can't imagine this show will be renewed for another year...and I used to be a big fan.
