Have They No Class? #94

How about this for lowbrow?

A London based advertising firm, Ad Air is promising (or threatening depending on how you view it) to install GIGANTIC (I mean about the size of THREE football fields) ads to be seen by incoming airline passengers out their windows, as if the myriad of ads in the in flight magazine and in flight movie/TV programming weren't enough. I may be horribly old-school on this, by dang it, is this really necessary? Wouldn't many passengers rather be able to view the scenery below them (well, except for certain parts of New Jersey, and if you don't believe me, try flying into Newark NJ sometime, it goes directly over one of their beautiful oil refineries)?

In any case, Atlanta's Hartsfield-Jackson airport will be getting these monstrosities sometime in the coming year, and other airports worldwide will follow suit. Somehow I'm just not too impressed with the idea. Is no open space safe anymore?
