As if amateur astronomy isn't tough enough near the city.
(But I wouldn't mind seeing giant cartoons involving old Mo' projected on the sky all over the Middle East.)

Well at first blush I would be against this but now that you mention the possible uses for it to broadcast giant cartoons all over the ME, it does sound promising.

We need a way to generate a soundtrack.

It could be a 5 minute short subject: Mohammed and his sheep.

Wouldn't it be a hoot if we flashed a hugh picture of Mohamad telling Middle-Easterners to knock off the violence and get along with the U.S. and Israel. LOL
The west should have kept this a secret.

So if I didn't like the ads, I could get my own rig and blast a bunch of interference pics like this right on top of it. Sounds fun!

I've thought of this before. I am suprised its taken so long for advertisers to destroy our night sky. I was thinking more of a spaced-based system that would adverise to the whole damn planet.
To: Eric in the Ozarks
Eric, I nominate you for the Director of our 1st ME sky 3D laser project! I think you are to an idea for one of the greatest epics in film making of all time.

How about an incoming missile, UFO, Superman or asteroid created by laser points...
To: LibWhacker
Oh boy, I can hardly wait, giant tampon/pads floating in the night sky.
To: LibWhacker
Will be banned as a danger to aviation.

"A possible solution to the bird flu problem?" Didn't Hitchcock have a documentary about that?

What if they have a UFO in the advertisement.
Imagine the uproar that could cause.
To: LibWhacker
That was the first thing I though. Amateur Astronomy is under assault!
