Nah, the best (worst?) example of product placement on TV was an episode of "According to Jim" that was a half hour ad for Red Lobster. The show purportedly was about one of the children going on the spelling bee circuit and what a hassle it was for the parents, but the thrust of the show was how, after every win, they would take the kid to Red Lobster because she loved the food there. There were constant references to it and, in the final scene of the show, they even unfurled a banner with the name and logo at the spelling bee championship.

Red Lobster bought itself a nice primetime infomercial.
