QR codes in the end credits of movies
Last year Sound Of Freedom did it, and now Origin. It's like that "THIS SPACE FOR RENT" gag from Top Secret! has actually come to pass.

It's embarrassing. Even worse than product placement!

Re: QR codes in the end credits of movies
I remember being nonplussed when there was a trailer for X-Men: Days Of Future Past halfway through the end credits of Amazing Spider-Man 2. It wasn't even a promise of a future crossover (Disney's buyout of Fox was years in the future), it was just a trailer randomly thrown in there...for a movie from a rival studio!
Plus, sticking QR codes into movies is just gonna encourage people to have their goddamn phones out for the whole thing, which is already an obnoxious problem.
