I was rewatching the Bourne film series last night, others might remember that scene where he notices how he's subconciously profiling everyone and subconsiously spotting danger. Well, this morning I watched the "Ruddy hell, it's Harry and Paul" comedy sketch show. In one scene, there's a B&O system and before it was even mentioned, I instantly thought "oh, there's a BC7000 in the background. Then I went to a music shop this afternoon and within about 3 seconds of entering, I spotted a set of S35's at the back of the room. Does anyone know if MI6 are hiring operatives to infiltrate the headquarters of Danish supervillains?

I feel like a B&O Jason Bourne..

I know that feeling, Calvin. That happens to me all the time when I am watching TV. Strange, how B&O has washed our brains...
Funnily enought one of the actors in the new Bourne film has : 7-40 , 7.2 , 8000, 4000, 3200, and a bvis6-23. A really nice guy to talk too!!
B&O is featured in so many films and videos now and we all see it and always mention it! partners get so bored with this LOL
I feel the same! My parents get fed up with it, as most places them seem to take me end up having B&O in some way! 😂 I guess I'm just eagle eyed, or my parents have a very good taste in restaurants (which I'll admit they do).
Haha, yes I now the feeling. My buddies hate when we are watching a movie, (especially in the cinema), and I mention "oh there's a BS9000", "did you see those 8000's", and so on :o)
I've begun to mention it now when I spot Apple products to. One of my mates got pretty tired of it when we where watching Transformers :o)
And don't get me started on cars and movies. I saw Bourne Ultimatum yesterday and my friend turns to me and say, "I bet that's the V10 TDi engine in that Touareg", and I reply "I know", and then his girlfriend just shakes her head. It must be a disease :o)
Gah, apple products are almost even worse for it. The number of times I see someone open a laptop up and spot the apple light on the lid before it's out the carry case...
I accidentally zapped on some porn on the Tv and watched trough the whole movie (first time to ever do that). Couldn't stop looking at the BC9000 and BL8000 in the background. I even think I saw an old BeoVision MX in one scene.🤔
Some time ago, when watching "The Devil Wears Prada" with SWMBO and seeing iMacs and San Pellegrino (Mineral Water) all the time, I sait to her "well it is clear, they payed to be seen" (product placement). But I never had that thought when spotting some B&O in a movie. What do you think?
B&O don't do product placement in that way. They don't pay a film producer in order to have their equipment placed in the set.
