You can broadcast that picture in 3D?It just wouldn't do to just have a "flat" picture of her, I guess. I'll have to get a 3-D camera and ask her real nicely. Got to bump off Michael Douglas first, though.

Amateur Astronomy is under assault!Maybe they'll take pictures of the planets, stars, nebulae, etc. and shine them in the sky.

How many ways can I say No! Please no! Oh, please, please, please no! The very thought makes me ill. Giant commercials everywhere you look. The used car guys shouting from the heavens. It is just to awful to contemplate.

As if amateur astronomy isn't tough enough near the city.
There's the cue for Rush Limbaugh to ignorantly make fun of the idea of "light pollution" again....
I'm not really an amateur astronomer, just watch the odd meteor shower and auroral display...even when I lived in the country (in a zero-crime area) the amazing proliferation of billion-candlepower permanently-on unshielded night lights around every house was making even stars hard to see.

Ahem...

I can't wait to hear your Oscar acceptance speech. I mean if a movie about two gay sheepherders can get 8 nominations, think what a Major religious figure doing it WITH his sheep would win! Especially in a completely new format of 3D multi nation wide Sky Light broadcast. It goes BEYOND Avant Garde!

If I'm reading this correctly, I bet it produces a lot of ozone. The envirowhackos will not be amused (unless they get to control the images of course).

The story opens at a tiny bar and grill on the snowy Minnesota Iron Range, "Hey, dare, Moh, dat's a funny lookin dogsled ya got outside..."

How very bladerunner. You beat me to it.
Envision the night sky over Boston, an enormous, bloated figure of Teddy Kennedy intoning "vote for me in the 2024 elections - or I'LL EAT YOU!"
