Sports agents were divided into three teams of two and given the task of "tricking out" a Pontiac GTO according to gridiron star Shaun Cody's taste on the Aug. 12 installment of Spike TV reality series "Super Agent." Most importantly, the teams needed to find a charity that best reflected Shaun's personality so he could award the best car to his charity.

That was just one of the featured product placements of the past week brought to you by MediaDailyNews and branded entertainment researcher iTVX.

Other notable placements include the following:

Valerie Cherish was desperate to get on the cover of a magazine after her co-star, Juna, had everyone talking about her cover shot in Rolling Stone in the August 14 installment of HBO's "The Comeback."

Dads had to shop for their kids at J.C. Penney and present a back-to-school fashion show in the August 16 episode of NBC's "Meet Mr. Mom."
