[edit] Red Dwarf?

Perhaps under popular culture some mention could be made of the Red Drawf fictional advert where several suns were blow nova to make a pepsi ad? Bihal 23:54, 2 July 2006 (UTC)

Would be a good addition. violet/riga (t) 17:56, 3 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Criticism

The Criticism section needs some specifics and sources. Who was involved in the 'public outcry' and when? All of the criticism seem like editor's opinions as it currently stands. Ashmoo 01:47, 3 July 2006 (UTC)

I agree and have taged both that section and every claim in that section. Jon 17:04, 3 July 2006 (UTC)
All covered by the already-given reference. violet/riga (t) 17:55, 3 July 2006 (UTC)
Just duplicate the link from the article as a foot note to your critism paragraph and the cite source requests will go away. (Also, if your not aware of this, there is a 3 revert within 24 hour rule.) Jon 21:07, 3 July 2006 (UTC)
I'd much rather do it with proper page/section referencing, which I will do at some point in the near future. Thanks for the 3RR notification, but it's normally given when someone has reverted more than just once! :) violet/riga (t) 21:09, 3 July 2006 (UTC)
I'd had a go at footnoting it. I actually saw 2 history revisions than looked from the summary like a manual reversion.

[edit] external links consolidated into references

No need for these to be seperate, so I've merged them. Jon 21:17, 3 July 2006 (UTC)

I hadn't actually used the external link as a reference, and the two sections can remain seperate. However, looking at it again I can see how it can be used as one, and will implement it later on, so thanks. violet/riga (t) 21:21, 3 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] A space billboard is still a possibility

Speaking of possibilities for obtrusive space advertising in the past tense seems somewhat premature given that, as far as I know, this has only been banned in the US.--Pharos 05:26, 4 July 2006 (UTC)

That's very true, but I couldn't find any other proposals from other countries. Would be interesting to see what countries outside the one of origin would do about it! violet/riga (t) 10:21, 4 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Illegial space advertising

If a Federal (or maximum security) prison IP shows up, you know I've went to jail because of attempts to space advertise and then hacked the prison's computers. :-) GangstaEB• ice slides) 13:42, 4 July 2006 (UTC)


[edit] Carmen Sandiego

The article states, "In a episode of Carmen Sandiego's tv show, she plans to launch rockets to transform the moon's face in your logo." What does this mean? AaronWL 03:59, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] "Moonvertising"

I've seen billboards all over Boston, MA, that say something like "Look at the next full moon!" and shows something being projected from Earth onto the moon's surface. Is this even possible? If it wasn't, why would ClearChannel Communication waste so much money advertising that they're going to be "moonvertising" (which is what it's called on the aforementioned billboards)? Assuming that it is possible... is it legal? Or a good idea? I might be kind of irritated to see an advert on the moon the next time it's full. Opinions, any insight, information?
