    Beer, sex, and lasers.

    You and your significant other drive to a nice spot at the top of a hill. On top of this hill you can see for miles, the city lights play out before you as your emotions rise. After a long, passionate make out session you lie on ground looking up at the sky. Though the city is near you can still see the twinkling stars shimmering across the blue tinged sky. You take a deep breath as you scan the sky, eventually finding what you are looking for. The moon, sitting there in its decadent beauty, almost feels like it is staring back. It isn't a feeling of paranoia, no, it is more of a feeling of comfort and safety, that someone is watching over you. This night could not get better.
    Then suddenly, the moon changes to a green color. This is clearly not normal, the moon has never done this before. Rubbing your eyes does not take away the anomaly, and looking around shows everything else hasn't changed color. You point this out to your lover who is also equally flabbergasted. You struggle your phone out of your pocket and start calling your friends, family members, anyone saved in your cellphone's contact list and telling of this strange occurrence, urging them to come outside and partake of this oddity. They too, have no explanation.
    Then even more unexpectedly the moon changes to the color red. The words "Coca Cola" can clearly be seen written acrossed it's surface.

    Yes, though it seems 1984ish, advertising on the moon is now a reality.

    Rolling Rock, a beer company in St. Louis, will use a giant laser to print their logo on the moon. Which is tomorrow or tonight depending on when/where you are reading this. Any of you astronomy buffs will know that is the day when the moon is full. Though this idea intrigues me, I am against putting advertisements on the moon, it's bad enough we have them everywhere else.

      Consumerism at it's finest, Calcium. Yes, the world and it's mega-corporations feel it has the right to transcend forbidden barriers and f*** up untouched objects of beauty in order to advertise it's worthless product. Don't you wonder why these corporations rip off their customers and get away with it? Don't you understand why senators have sex with random women, break laws and have no sense of moral decency and get away with it? It's because they can. Nobody is going to stop them. Until limits are imposed, this will happen.

      Even a mass protest will not avail. They're just words and principles, but oh wait, corporations have none. So hell with it, they'll do whatever they want. This is sad. It makes me wonder what the world is coming to. Advertising is simply a way to grab a potential consumer's attention by enumerating the positive facets of a product in hopes that the person will buy it right? They want everybody to notice it. That's why they will put garish billboards up and run TV ads, etc. If you put it on the moon, which is universally known and seen, my god, the possibilities are endless. Don't you see the potential profit and publicity that can be made from this? Corrupt, immoral, incorrigible individuals who enjoy taking advantage of something as beautiful and innocuous as the Moon would gladly disturb it's natural beauty for their gain. I hope something is done, because this cannot be allowed. The Moon is owned by all. It is not theirs to own and shape. Therefore, that is vandalism. Vandalism is a crime. So charge them with crime and even trespassing, and put 'em in jail. Plus, some bad publicity won't hurt.

      Sorry for the short post, I am doing a big assignment and it's due tonight.

            I am f***ing <i> livid</i>. Mostly because of my sense of entitlement. The moon is... universal property. But not in the sense we can all do what we want with it, but in the sense it is there for all of us to enjoy. Except the blind, but really who cares about them anyways.

            Ads have a time and a place. And to slowly see capitalistic greed encroach onto once clean grounds is highly disturbing. Television? Expected. Magazines? a given. Internet - of course! Everywhere you look, there are ads. I want to kill someone because there is no law against this because there's been no need. What starts with a light show ends with...what? Laser engravings on the moon? Ads on clouds? Spare me.

                  Only kids stare at the moon.
                  Beer company puts ads on the moon.
                  Little kids become alcoholics.

                  And I agree, why the hell is this in CT? Needs to be locked or moved to CC.

                      You know you just mentioned a bunch of stuff without even actually asking a question. However, I can assume that you mean "Should we advertise things on the moon?" I for one am against the idea of advertising on the moon or using it as some military base. However, I just don't get that feeling that we can place laws all over the galaxy (aside from Earth) for what territory you should not have especially if it seems to not really be used for anything yet. I don't want just advertising outerspace, but I think it would be all right for an actual civilization to expand beyond Earth. I think it would be interesting how we would deal with disputes between different nations (maybe we aren't suited to use outerspace territory unless the world decides to form one nation, have a universal agreement that anyone can settle on the moon, or something like that).

                        Re: Beer, sex, and lasers.

                        This reminds me of a CSI (Miami?) where someone blinds a pilot by shining a green laser pointer (granted, wicked lasers are pretty cool) and then the plane crashes.

                        I don't think that this is going to work for many reasons, I'll math it out and be back later.

                        Initially, however, why would they do it during a full moon? That would be like watching a movie on a screen that is itself very bright.

                        Edit: This would not work. But I guess that's not really the point. Just, if you're curious, it wouldn't.

                          OMG this is so weird. Makes me feel like we're going into the future! ;_; I hope it's pretty.

                            Hell, I'm excited. This is physics doing its job, and I think that's really fkn neat.

                              This would have been a great CT topic if that company actually had any intention or ability to do what they were claiming. Since it's instead just silly hype, it goes to CC.
