Hi,

thought I'd start this off here but I'll be moving it to the Lifestyle section eventually.

Ok just saw the latest Ballentines ad (focusing on purity and quality) and they use as the music source a Beogram with an MMC6000.

I can't find back the old "movies" thread (am I blind??), so I just open a new one:

Yesterday I was watching "Thank you for smoking" and I saw a BS9000 in Nick Naylors appartment, along with some ugly non B&O AV equipment.

For those who don't know the old thread: Did you spot some B&O in a movie, a TV-show or an ad?  Tell us!

I was looking for the same thread the other day after watch the Bourne Identity, where there is a Beocom 6000 in room where he opens the safety deposit box.

In the german TV-show "Deal or no deal", a Beocom6000 is one of the main caracters of the show.

I didn't know that Deal Or No Deal was a German show. Neat. It's very popular here in the US.

A famous B&O appearance is in The Devil Wears Prada. Meryl Streep uses it.

I am not surwe where it started, but it Deal or No Deal seems to be like a 'franchise' that pops up in all sorts of different countries.

Well it seems this post doesn't have as much content as it did on the old BeoWorld. My spottings of "Where's B&O?" have been:

1. iRobot - Will Smith uses A8s, but he uses them as a handsfree for his phone from memory.

2. The latest advert for the Pro Evolution 08 soccer game has BeoLab 5s and BeoSound 4 on set while Ronaldo and Owen are being interviewed.

3. Two Weeks Notice: Hugh Grant has a BeoSound 9000.

4. And my favourite find is a Century in cartoon form on a Simpsons episode. From memory it is at the comic store. I shall try and find out the episode and get a screen shot for you guys. It looks identical - even in the original green colour!
