That was the whole freaking point! Why else would there be McDonald's merchandise everywhere, even all over the shower in the hotel room? Why else would there be Target symbols all over the walls and pillows. It was intentional.
I'm not saying this movie is great art, but it's solid, campy fun, and those complaining about excessive product placement are missing the point of the film.

It's well known that no money was paid by the companies for product placement in this movie.

FemaleAnimeFan for the WIN.
you're a dumb @r$e if you don't get that they took the idea of what they HAD to do to make the movie and made it into a HUGE joke. Maybe you were sitting too close to the TV if you didn't get it then came on IMDB to complain about product placement. Silly folks.
