On last Sunday’s episode of the popular HBO show, a commercial for Boston-based James Sokolove, known for his ubiquitous sue-’em-now ad campaigns, could be heard playing on James Gandolfini’s television set. Was it a deliberate product placement? (Carol Beggy & Mark Shanahan, “Fenway plans fail to materialize”, Boston Globe, Apr. 4) (via Schaeffer).
