It must've not been a Weber commercial cuz they covered up the Weber logos on the handles
Everything is an ad these days. Product placement is big biz. When I worked for Caterpillar, production companies would sell air time by the second when our logo was visible on the set - even in the background. You might see a Cat machine with the logo in one shot, then it's taped over the next time it shows up. If you forget and leave a logo visible, you might get a bill from the production company, or have to use CGA to blur it after the fact. I worked on the project when OCC did the Cat Chopper. It often seemed like building the bike was the
last thing on anyone's mind. It was all about the sponsors. Still fun to see how it all worked, and I did get to spend time with the Pauls in their original shop before they went all Hollywood and it all went South. If you get the episode, you might see me in the background in a couple scenes. I never rode the final bikes (they made two copies) but I did get to sit on it and rev it up in the shop. Good times.
