Jon and Kate plus... Advertising?

First off, I would just like to say, I love the show ‘Jon and Kate plus Eight’ on TCL. Monday nights at 9:00, however the season finale was this week, so I am unfortunately going to have to wait a while for new episodes : ( For those of you who aren’t familiar with this fabulous show, Jon and Kate have a set of twins Cara and Madelyn and sextuplets: Hannah, Alexis, Leah, Aaden, Collin and Joel. They currently live in Pennsylvania and have their lives filmed three days a week.

Recently on the show I have noticed a lot of advertising for various products and places. The most recent was when Jon was asked by a cameraman what he was doing on the computer and Jon replied that he was just looking over some new information on AllState’s website for work. Then the cameraman panned into a five second shot of the website on the computer. Hello AllState advertising! The funny part was that during the commercials, there was of course, an AllState commercial.

They have been invited to numerous vacation destinations around the country, including Park City, Utah and Hawaii. They are always put up in the nicest rooms with lovely little extras and Jon and Kate are always sure to give huge thanks to wherever they stayed and always tell viewers how great of a place it was. Perfect advertising shout outs for Utah and Hawaii!

When Jon and Kate moved into their new house, the one that they are currently living in, the got all new appliances. I couldn’t member the exact situation, but I found some else discussing the topic online and this is what I found. That discussion went pretty much like this:

Kate: “I just love our new washer and dryer from Whirlpool! They look so beautiful sitting side by side in the laundry room. We had some in our old house and after that amazing experience, I knew the Whirlpool Duets were the ONLY washer and dryer I’d put in the new house!”

Then the camera zoomed into the Whirlpool Duets logo on the washing machine.

Now Kate is talking again, “My Whirlpool Duets are so small that they fit perfectly in the room and they’re so easy to use, but they still have tons of options! I can even wash ALL of my kids’ jeans in ONE LOAD! What other washing machine can do that? They make laundry a joy! They’re like having little friends in my laundry room!”
Pretty funny if you ask me, but if I had eight kids that I wanted to attended college someday I would be doing every last bit of 5 second advertising as well, who cares!

On a more touching note, there was a very memorable episode that gave great recognition for children living with cancer when the whole fam visited Saints Jude’s Children’s Hospital in Tennessee. Throughout the episode, much of the hospital was shown and Jon and Kate did a great job of bringing awareness to the services it provided. Kate specifically mentioned that she hoped this episode would bring awareness to the hospital several times.

So ya, there is a bunch of advertising on this show, funny yes, but certainly not a bad idea in my book!
