I'm guessing the whorish product placement was a result of Matthew Vaughan having to raise funds by himself. He has said he normally self-finances because studios only want PG-13 whereas he prefers the offensive lunacy you can get away with in a higher rating.
If that is what is required to get an R rating these days, then I'll take it.
Also, doesn't Rupert Murdoch own The Times as well? So, I'm guessing Vaughan included The Sun as a jokey reference to James Bond who, let's face it, is a laddish cad.
Very nice, detailed review though.
