Ads big as 3 football pitches
p2pnet news | Off Topic:- You can just see the headline: 232 killed in Heathrow Airport tragedy.
And then the story —-
‘Pilot distracted by giant runway advertisement.”
Not really. But you never know because, “adverts the size of three football pitches seen by plane passengers coming in to land,” says Reuters.
Britain’s Ad-Air launched its runway ads service in London yesterday, “offering brands the chance to place huge adverts near the runways of some of the world’s busiest runways,” says the story, adding:
“Ad-Air, backed by 5 million pounds of private equity finance, said it had spent five years securing sites around the world’s busiest airports including Heathrow, Paris, Geneva, Atlanta, Los Angeles, Tokyo and Abu Dhabi.
“The first advert will appear in Dubai next month.”
It can’t be far off – mega-billboards al la Blade Runner blasting us with non-stop images.
