Would You Hold It Against Her?

Last night (February 17th), Britney Spears debuted the music video off her new single, "Hold It Against Me," on MTV and Vevo.com.

The video hit many things right. The look, the choreography, their sponsors... wait... sponsors?

That's right, multiple OBVIOUS product placements were seen in the video... A bit cheesy if I do say so myself.

Don't get me wrong, I'm definitely loving Spears' new song and video, but has the world of advertising become so obsessed with selling, that they have to force a good chunk of music video time by showing the audience what to buy?

In the first few seconds of the video you already see plenty of well known products. Spears' fragrance: Radiance, Makeup Forever, Sony, and the online dating site PlentyOfFish.com.

What do you think readers? Did the video inspire you to indulge and purchase these products, or did you find it a waste of precious Britney Spears grooving time?
