Katie Couric receiving a colonoscopy is quite a bit different than a DJ
receiving laser eye surgery or Body Solutions treatments. Her husband died
of colon cancer, and she's at that age where she should start receiving
the procedure periodically. I think what she did qualifies as public
service - whereas the aformentioned surgery and weight loss endorsements
qualify as product placement.
