If MrSkin didn't pony something up for their name/site being in the movie, then they just go to the writers and say hey we have AFF, Twisty's, or so and so willing to give us the money for it. Work that into some alternative scripts.

Word is in Transformers that VW had no interest in paying for the Beetle to be featured in the movie (you surely remember that Bumble Bee was a VW Beetle??) How the hell did he become a Chevy Camaro??? Because Chevy was willing to pay for it, that's why.

James Bond drives an Aston Martin.. always has... yet in recent movies he drives a Ford and a BMW as his spy cars??? Product placement!!! big business!!
