On last nights Sopranos, there's a scene where Tony and Christopher are driving back from a meet with Phil Leotardo. Christopher pulls out a CD, which we very clearly see is the Departed soundtrack. Then he says something to the effect of "It's the Departed soundtrack, it's fucking killer. You got it?" To which Tony replies, "Yeah, it's good."
In the next few minutes Christopher rolls the SUV and is then suffocated by Tony. So I guess the whole Departed thing was blatant symbolism for the rest of the show. But I can't shake the feeling that Warner Brothers paid for this to happen. It was just too blatant. And yeah, it bugs me.
It'll be interesting to see if there is a resulting spike in CD sales. I hope Tony doesn't start shilling for Geico.
EDIT: This morning on Amazon, #45. At 5:20 pm PST, #18.
