Mildly Interesting

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

i don't want to be THAT guy, but the companies that operate these planes have done silly things like this in the past, because we will talk about it, and someone will then book it for his birthday

I prefer to be aware of when I’m being advertised to, so I personally appreciate you for keeping that mindset for us.

Always. the answer is always. Because even when you're not actively consuming any media, the advertisements (including more subtle things like product placements and viral marketing like this) have already been absorbed and are doing their thing.

Sorry. 😬

Hey if it means we get crude words written in the sky, I'm all for this marketing scheme.

That sounds like a win-win. I'm generally vehemently anti-advertising, but I'm willing to make an exception for skywriting cause it's rad.
