It's a Bird, It's a Plane, It's... Marketing!

skywriting1009.jpg If you see a giant V in the sky on Friday, fear not, it's just the big wigs in Hollywood trying to get you to watch a new television show about aliens. Reportedly "The network is mum on where and when the V's will strike, but such places as the Statue of Liberty are under consideration. The skywriting will be done multiple times a day at each site until the series launch." Yes, television people, it is a great idea to "secretly" send a small aircraft spouting out gas over major landmarks in New York City.

    Why are they remaking that stinking turd of a show?

  • buttface

    Can't help but enjoy the tinfoil-hat vapor-trail overtones of this article.

  • NannyState

    If you're italian, avoid helicopter tours on Friday. With such prime juicy bait, the chopper pilot will prefer to be going it solo.

  • ANGRYGOD11

    I've always hated sky writing as the sky belongs to all of us.

  • Nyctini11

    Wow, they're remaking V? interesting. will their be another male birthing an alien?

  • Potty Boy

    It's my contention that terrorists can use publicity stunts such as these as cover for actual deeds.

  • longacre

    It wasn't that long ago that you'd see skywriters over NYC on just about every sunny weekend.
