Geostationary Banana Over Texas.

damn canadians!!
float that banana in your own country!!

Glad I don't live in texas. I would be pissed. You can clutter up the landscape to force me to look at billboards, you can cluttter up the internet, tv, and newspaper to force me to look at ads. BUT DONT CLUTTER MY SKY. Its the last place we're free to look and dream. I don't want to look at a banana, when I look up.

I can see it now:

Enjoying a romantic evening under the stars the couple gazed outwards to the moon....and to the giant floating banana.
"isn't it a beautiful night, Susan?" asked Joe.
"The giant banana looks just lovely, Joe. You can almost smell it." murmered Susan.

haha, "slip-ups."

ba dum bum chhhhhhhh

If this works, how many companies will start using this approach for advertisements? We'll have a sky full of blow-up pizzas, floating video screens, soda cans, and 800 ft tall busty mud splattered cheerleaders (or whatever other gimmick the beer manufacturers devise).

i live in texas, and personally i would love to look up lovingly at a giant banana.

what about the aliens?

"You can clutter up the landscape to force me to look at billboards, you can cluttter up the internet, tv, and newspaper to force me to look at ads. BUT DONT CLUTTER MY SKY."

You've got it backwards. You should be angry that your world is already cluttered with ads. Advertising is graffiti. Giant floating bananas are art.

Shawn Bell--I also live in Texas, and I find the idea abhorrent. I didn't move out to the country just to spend the rest of my days staring at a ludicrous piece of skyborn oversize produce. This ain't art, it's just dumb.

They can put that stupid thing in the airspace over their OWN damn country, thanks.

I also live in texas and i think it will be cool but do we really want a giant floating thing in the sky. Thats a perfect opertunity for a country to nuke us Im not saying canada is but what about in the future when we grow used to things like that

the guncrazy texans will probably shoot it down anyways

I just hope this doesn't become a form of advertisement.

So . . . am I completely off-base in thinking the whole thing might be a giant farce?

ca l'a aucun bon sens. Au Canada on a donné 25000 dollards pour cette chose inutile. Le gouvernement finance des chôses inutiles. Je suis révolté en ...

mymy... a weird and useless thing huh... anyway... You Texans, i hope you will enjoy it... lol

this is by far one of the best things that i have ever seen or heard of in my 27 years of living. i live in pa and intend to come to texas to see this magnificent piece of art work. living in pa, i want to launch a 'kumquat over pa."

The whole banana thing is stupid, its some crack -headed artist who is trying to make a statement but he just ends up making all of us canadians look like retards. It will be even worse if it crashes because then we will look like incompetent retards.
