Not that I have any particular affection for the show How I Met Your Mother, but it seems wrong to back into TV episodes and insert advertisements for new products, especially for the talking animal movie Zookeeper. However, this could just be an unfortunate long-term effect of George Lucas’ willingness to edit his movies retroactively and it’s still sort of fun to blame him for things. However, this will be far less amusing/tolerable when Rick drinks a Powerade while watching the plane take off in Casablanca.
