Reflection of Example:
I could not believe the example of the cell phones popping popcorn. I must admit when I first saw it, I believed it. I did not know a website like snoops exist. I think that is a great example of indirect advertising. I really did not think it was that funny, like the man on CNN who created the videos claimed. After seeing all the clips it does make me wonder about radio waves and cell phone usage. It might be helpful to read an academic journal article on the subject.
