They like space billboards.
The second one would go into orbit around the 7th planet

wow impressive
i'm very impressed someone toook the initiative to do this. not long ago pizza hut was planning to launch an advertisement on the moon, a massive pizza hut logo that would blemish the moon forever.
nobody owns space, thus nobody has the right to use it as an advertisement medium (since nobody can sell the rights to do so).
nobody has the ability to "enforce" it either, but i'm sure shooting your advertisements down with missiles will eventually get through to you that your ads are not welcome.
this is an excellent decision, before coroporate entities get even more carried away and start littering our sky with never ending orbiting ads, and destroy the serenity of the night sky.
popups and spam are bad enough imo.

What's so embarrassing about a Kerry sticker? I have one on my Jeep and I will display it until this administration is ousted.
PS: I know the story behind your 'tar, and it's a great one... but it still scares me!
There won't be space billboards. C'mon, the whole point of advertising is to make people like your company, and any company that put up a space billboard would be so hated by so many people. It would be counterproductive.

What about those companies who put negative product placements in movies think George Clooney in the Peacemaker driving the latest Mercedes as the hero while the villains all got to drive the previous generation of BMW or when the hero drinks Coke while the villain drinks the choice of a new generation.

Wow is the period on your keyboard broken!?
On a related note - there are companies looking in to creating sub-orbital/low-orbit fireworks that could be visible for hundreds, if not thousands, of miles, so I tend to agree with Rainman that this is a legitimate fear.rainman::|:| said:
However, low-orbit advertisements might bring a whole new meaning to the Second Amendment.
