On some shows they blur out products and logos when they are broadcast in the UK. I know on American Idol they blur out the drinks containers and on some other shows they actually blur out logos on clothes the actors are wearing. I suppose it's only a matter of time before they are able to digitally replace those with other products.

If you tried to blur out the product placement on any episode of 24 you'd end up with nothing but a blurry screen.
