Nokia 5800 XpressMusic Gets Starring Role In New Britney Vid!
Nokia have always been known as the best in the business when it comes to flaunting their new wares in music videos. Our Omio Product Placement Blowout showed you some of their best and most blatant, but the Finnish manufacturer scored a MAJOR coup in managing to crowbar the 5800 XpressMusic into Britney’s comeback porno promo for “Womanizer”.
We know what you’re thinking, “How many comebacks can one woman have?” And yes, she looks hot again. We know you were also thinking that.
Nevertheless the touchscreen music phone features prominently in the hands of her womanizing faux love interest in between scenes of Britney’s clothes flying off, Britney wearing nowt at all, Britney photocopying her rear, and Britney driving a Maybach with her feet. True story.
See it all here, but we must warn you that the audio that emanates from the following footage may cause lasting mental anguish…
Yeah. That product placement definitely paid for some expensive CG and wigs in that one. But that’s how the both music and mobile industry works, also proving that the 5800 is a huge deal for Nokia. Note that the Princess of Pop did not handle the device herself, stopping short of completely marketing the phone directly into children’s eyeballs. She certainly had wares of her own to display (zing!).
It’s a shame that the phone isn’t out in ‘08, but Nokia will be sure to keep it firmly placed in our collective conscious until then!
