OT: Adverts In Space

[Atrocities]

Bottom line is it is a bad idea of epic proportions to do this. However, human greed knows no bounds and once the pockets of the politicans has been sufficently lined with gold, these greed mongers, like those who clear cut our great forest, will be given the go ahead to fill our clear heavenly skys with their advertisements.

The day is coming when you will wake up and look out side only too a McDonalds sign flashing at you from five miles up thus effectively blocking out the blue sky and sun light.

You know someone should take a picture of their oversized gut and put a caption that reads:
"Product of McDonalds and Frito Lay" on it.

Then place that add in orbit for the world to see.

fortunatly, the cost is prohibitive and will be for a while. but once it's not, they will try it.

Once the cost is not prohibitive enough to make that worthwhile, it will not be too costly for me to buy a space fighter. No more ads!

Let's get a big, full-color, animated ad for SEV up there in the sky.

Life imitates fiction...

In the Red Dwarf books, the crew find Kryten aboard a ship called the Nova 5. The Nova 5's mission was to send a load of stars into carefully-synchronised premature supernovae to spell out the words "COKE ADDS LIFE" in the sky.

THen of course there's Chairface Chippendale from the TICK comics, who manages to carve the letters "CHA" into the surface of the moon before he was thwarted...

in one of the gi-joe cartoons, the evil guy uses a giant laser to carve his face into the moon. but, like everything in that cartoon, it only Lasted an episode.
