While set designers can argue that using real products lends a production the flavor of reality, animators really cannot say the same. Why put an identifiable product into an animated sequence if it isn’t going to add anything? Below, a recent episode of The Simpsons. This comes after last year’s kerfuffle over The Simpsons’ storyline mocking Apple and its “culture.”
(When looking at Lisa’s workstation, keep in mind that The Simpsons are supposed to be perpetually broke.)
