Product placement

SOG (brand name on axe head) - ACTS - The axe head is used as a prop in a challenge. Removing it would change the nature of the challenge. VAT19 (brand name on phone screen and in caption) - APPEARS - VAT19 is the creator of the video and the platform where the poll is displayed. Removing it would not change what happens in the video, but would remove attribution. It also appears as a watermark on the phone screen.

HARD EASY HARD IMPOSSIBLE LET'S GO WHAT? I thought you said I was throwing? Yeah, you're throwing yourself into this project, but I'm throwing axes at Ariel because if I hit that icy squishy, she gets to keep it. I don't want to do that. Well too bad, because the poll has spoken. 100% of the people don't want these axes to not be thrown. That's not what the poll said. Little fact about me, I can't read. So I'm not letting you throw axes at me. Fine. I'm throwing darts at Ariel to see if I can hit the icy squishy. No darts at me. No, no darts. Put in the chat what you want me to throw at Ariel. Then I won't let you throw axes at me. No, you're not throwing anything at me. Then my good friend and cameraman Corey will. Come here Corey. Hey everybody, I'm throwing axes at Ariel over here. Could be off the streets. You ready? Are you ready? I'm throwing axes at Ariel over here. Could be off the streets. Are you ready? OH Oh dang 'em all! Buy it now!
