You know, if I met a movie-goer who had never heard of Leonardo di Caprio I would question which planet they came from.
Why not many PRS in rig rundowns?

There have been a lot of valid points already made, but I know that another stigma for many people avoiding PRS is the history it had in the late 90s/early 00s. When I say history I mean two things: who were the people playing PRS and waht style of music were they playing.
A lot of the people I know associate PRS with nu-metal, especially Limp Bizkit, and a lot of what is considered fake or crappy alt rock or whatever you wanna call it, like Good Charlotte and Nickelback.
Hell, 10 years ago that's how I associated them. It wasn't until around 2003 when I first heard Opeth and Porcupine Tree that I thought "well, now I need one...".
Another deciding factor for me was the tone Petrucci got out of it on Stream of Consciousness. Mark Tremonti, being a fan of JP, gave him one of his sig models, which JP then used on that song and hence its darker tone.
My 2cents.

Perhaps we should take more rock bands to court so they meet PRS owners?

That was the second single. The first was "Paint You Like A French Girl" from the "Kings Of The World" album.

I heard their first release sank to the bottom of the charts after competing with Ice Cube or Vanilla Ice or something...

Here's Leo trying to auction off his Gibson so he can afford a 594 in Iceberg fade.
