Billions of dollars are spent every year on marketing in the U.S. A good chunk of this amount is spent on television advertising. Due to the viewer’s ability to skip television advertisements, companies are focusing more resources on guerrilla marketing and product placement campaigns than ever before.

Not 5 minutes ago I was out getting the mail, and I heard a low rumble coming from behind a large stand of trees. In about 2 minutes - the Blimp!! It flew right over, and continued over the Gorge metro-park behind where I live.

Hi Mir.

Funny you mentioned the Goodyear Blimp. I grew up in Akron, Ohio - the former "Rubber Capital of the World" (when I was a kid). Blimps are made of rubber, one reason Goodyear got in on the act when lighter-than-air travel was still viable - before the "Oh the Humanity" tragedy of the Hindenburg in 1937. The blimps when I was a kid 50 years ago were at least twice as big as the "tiny" ones flying now. We used to see them flying around - the low hum of the engines alerted everyone they were in the area, and people would stand outside & watch them go by. In fact, I still see them flying - I live very near Akron. Still the low hum, too. The blimp dock, where they build 'em, has one of the most massive internal expanses anywhere in the world. Condensation forms high up inside (it's a big open space), and it "rains" inside.

I've seen the one in Los Angeles a couple times, but it's usually pretty high in the sky where I can't hear it. I'm interested to see if the airships will actually look different or just be larger versions of the blimps--which is what I understand airships as.

The one time the GY blimp ever flew over our house was when they were spraying for locusts or something back in the 70s. The spray truck had just gone by and my parents wouldn't let us out.
