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.)

[MNJohnnie]

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.

[DoughtyOne]

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!

[StockAyatollah]

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.

How about an incoming missile, UFO, Superman or asteroid created by laser points...

[Nathan Zachary]

Oh boy, I can hardly wait, giant tampon/pads floating in the night sky.

Will be banned as a danger to aviation.

A possible solution to the bird flu problem?

[Peace Is Coming]

What if they have a UFO in the advertisement.
Imagine the uproar that could cause.

[Conan the Librarian]

That was the first thing I though. Amateur Astronomy is under assault!

[Xenophobic Alien]

Great now everytime I look up I'll see viagra or that got wood ad. Groan.

[brainstem223]

The tin foil hats will be 911-ing all night long about aliens invading..

[Proud_USA_Republican]

How very bladerunner.

[pepperdog]

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.

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.

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).
