Oh, Ilene

Though the last I heard, the rumor mill was kicking out that the sixth season of "The L Word" was only going to be a half-season (because why do we need all 13 episodes to tie everything up when the M.O. of the show is to just ignore stuff you don't want to bring up ... cough*Papi*cough). And, now Ilene Chaiken has decided to implement product placement.

Alley Hector has a point about such combinations:

"While viewers might actually notice if the program were being interrupted, slick product placement is sure to reach into our brains as mind-numbing subliminal advertising. Pretty soon you'll think if you don't buy Coke, you just aren't gay enough."
