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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Why are they remaking that stinking turd of a show?
