Oh Tony....

What was with the blatant, whorish "product placement" during tonights episode of No Reservations? Tony, you disappointed me tonight.

About 2/3 of the way through an otherwise pleasant, interesting and informative episode of this award winning television show Anthony Bourdain leans across the table at an open air restaurant and says "Let me get this" and the picture zooms in onto a hand holding a brilliant blue Chase Sapphire credit card.

Really Tony? Really? Could you or your agent or whoever not find a better way to raise money to fund this programming? Are sheeps brains really that fucking expensive that you need to whore your self out like this? Why'd you have to go and take a great show and turn it into a goddamn commercial?

Frankly, I am very, very disappointed in you Tony. And when it comes to watching what is one of my favorite television programs I am afraid I now have some serious reservations. If this is the way the rest of the season is going to play out please take that Chase Sapphire card and shove it up your ass.
