An interesting thread.

A couple of things occur to me. Someone, earlier in the thread, mentioned a
coke can in space. This specific example strikes me as fair and legit.
parody/satire/whatever. A can of POV-cola just wouldn't have the same impact
or say the same things about polution and waste, etc.

An implication of this is that it's alright to use a copyrighted product as
long as you are 'dissing it. Curios. A thirsty man gratefully drinking a can
of Coke while admiring, bikini-clad woman watch adoringly would be a
copyright infringment, but a man using a can of Coke to replenish a
car-battery would be okay. Weird.
