Political Product Placement

During a recent campaign commercial, Arnold is seen in a cafeteria speaking to the few remaining state residents who aren't protesting him these days. You can also see products by Nestle and Pepsi. Who cares right?

Well you might care if you knew that these two groups have donated nearly $280,000 to Schwarzenegger's perpetual campaigns.

In the movies and tv, this is called "product placement". In politics its just dirty fundraising. A consumer group is urging Arnold to return the massive sum and the companies to compensate the state for the fair market value of the ad time since it is improper for the Governor to use his office to sell corporate products.
