have inked a deal<\/a> to allow PVI to digitally map in product placements to Law & Order <\/i>reruns once they move from A&E to TNT next month. Want to brand the precinct Coke — I mean, soda machine? Want your logo on Lenny Briscoe’s coffee cup? The sky (and your pocketbook) are the limit.<\/p>\nAs a student of history, I have a respect for primary, original sources. One of these days, we’ll never be able to tell what the original of these shows was because it will have been digitally monkeyed around so that there is<\/i> no original any more. It’s the next step from colorizing films. Next thing you know, you’ll be able to change hair color, manipulate lines, and generally speaking change the whole show around for whomever wants to pay the bill.<\/p>\n
Heck, Melissa Gilbert might end up (digitally) playing Rhoda.<\/p>\n
