Life Imitates Art II

I like to joke about using space and things in it (like the moon) as a backdrop for projecting ads. To me, this seems one of the most offensive uses of capitalism I can imagine, and is inspired in no small part by James Morrow's suggestion in The Eternal Footman that advertisers would use God's floating skull to pimp their products if they could.

And, when get out of bed and read on the morning news that someone has developed and patented a machine to do just this, it makes me want to go back to bed and hide under the blankets.
