NetFlix, is this is a charity event for Feeding America or is it a virtual commercial?! An irrelevant brand should not be plastered all over a public organization's event like this, even if it sponsored the event. Makes me queasy. I used to work in the ad industry and there is nothing that advertisers will not do to reach their target audience. Ads will become more and more intrusive. I don't give a fart nugget about product placement overkill in television shows or movies, but NetFlix has shit to do with the impoverished and hungry. The NetFlix logo could appear on the hats but the aprons is pushing it.
Newly minted Golden Globe nominee Anne Hathaway cooks up a good time for students at the Renaissance Cafe at St. Aloysius School in New York's Harlem neighborhood on Monday. The actress participated in Feeding America's holiday initiative, unveiling the anti-hunger campaign's artwork at the event.

I agree. Ad placements are getting more and more intrusive by the day. The worst for me are those little ads that pop up on videos that you are watching on youtube. Annoying!

OMG, blatant corporate greed is so present here. NetFlix can give two shits about the world's problems. It's all about their bottom line. Tasteless.

Pretty much.
I was especially disappointed by this because all you see is NETFLIX!!!!, the organization's name is buried beneath it. Sad.
