A clever fellow has figured out a way to create clouds in the shape of corporate logos. He calls them flogos.

Roger, apparently, all it takes is the right stencil on the machine.  Why don’t you sketch one up?

Yes, a great idea. The peace sign is a nice touch. It makes me feel all warm and gooey inside.

It will take 3 days for someone to figure out how to make cloud porn.

HEDLINE:

Man-made clouds to change? the outlook
TO CHANGE? IF THE FIRM EVER GETS OFF THE GROUND THAT IS....

SUBHED:

Customised steam will? carry brand names to new heights
WILL CARRY? IF THE FIRM GETS OFF GROUND. RIGHT NOW IT IS A FIRM WITH A GOOD PR PRESS RELEASE AND WEBSITE, THAT’S ALL....

Next time a flotilla of brand logos drifts over the horizon, don’t fret - it’s an advert, not a nervous breakdown.

GOOD LEDE! BUT JASPER, THIS IDEA IS NEVER GONNA FLY, JUST LIKE THE GALACTIC SPACE HOTEL STORY, JUST LIKE THE EIFFEL TOWER REDESIGN NON STORY, JUST LIKE RICHARD BRANSON SPACE TOURISM STORIES, JUST LIKE SMOKING ALLOWED AIRLINES IN GERMANY STORY LAST YEAR.....

A company called Flogos has launched the first custom-made clouds and will soon be bringing its product to Britain. HAS LAUNCHED? NOT YET? SOON COMING TO UK? NEVER. THIS IS PURE PR FROM THE OWNER, FED TO THE UNSUSPECTING MEDIA....

Produced by a dedicated machine at the rate of two a minute, the flogos can be made to any shape required and float for up to half an hour, soaring up to 30,000ft for a distance of 40 miles. PURE CONJECTURE. PURE PRESS RELEASE!

Made from air, a tiny amount of organic surfactant taken from a tree, and helium, flogos are also environmentally friendly, say the firm.
SAYS THE FIRM. WHERE’S THE PROOF. SO SOMEBODY SAYS THE WORLD IS FLAT. IS THE WORLD THEREFORE FLAT?

Huge brands such as Apple, Disney and Mercedes have already NO THEY HAVE NOT floated their logos in the sky and inventor Francisco Guerra hopes many more will follow suit. YES HE DOES HOPE, THE GOOD HOPE OF A PR-SAVVY INVENTOR AND MORE POWER TO HIM BUT FIRST TELL THE TRUTH. PR IS ONE THING, A NEWS STORY IS ANOTHER....

He said: “I’m in the office from 7 a.m. because inquiries are coming from every square inch of the planet. EVERY SQUARE INCH. GOT IT? We are making them as fast as we can but it’s not enough. LOVELY HYPE!

“Every major advertising company in the world has come to discuss their roster. EVERY MAJOR ADVERTISIER, BULL****. Some Fortune 500 companies have been too and in SOUTH Korea, artists have told us they want to use flogos to make a kind of sculpture. The response has been incredible.” COOL! GOOD IDEA FOR ART, YES!

ned.

So then airplanes aren’t nearly as safe as Bart Hinkle suggests, aye?

“Britain’s Independent newspaper says airlines pump 20 per cent more carbon monoxide into the atmosphere than most estimates have suggested.
It cites a report by four government-funded research bodies that was presented to a conference co-organised by the United States’ Federal Aviation Authority, but not given a wider audience.”

More good news on the CO2 front. Good that is if you like breathing methane and hydrogen sulfide. Like Al Gore says, “It just keeps going up”.

I guess this is the last straw for those with deep anti-corporate feelings, to drive them nuts (!). They can’t get away now—just looking up at the sky....

Well, we knew this had to happen. Just a question of when.

We can’t get from the Southside to downtown Richmond but we can sure turn the sky itself into a gigantic billboard.

Progress. Can you believe people back in the olden days actually looked at the sky to see nature’s beauty.
