Blade Runner LA was quite a bit worse, with giant airships floating around blasting audio. No wonder everyone went to the offworld colonies.

- TeMPOraL 10y agoI wonder why that doesn't happen today. It's technically accessible. I've seen a blimp with a banner in the past once. No audio. What stops ad people from jumping at this medium?
- petre 10y agoIt's probably against the law to annoy residents with audio ads from blimps and for a good reason. I bet rednecks would shoot their rifles at would be audio ad blimps passing over their property without thinking twice - like they do now with drones. And I don't blame them, because I'd do the same any day.
- TeMPOraL 10y agoI'd buy a rifle for that reason myself. Or revive my high-school hobby of building solid fuel rocket engines. I'm just curious what stops ad blimps from appearing in big cities.
- gozur88 10y agoI'm pretty sure the audio would fall afoul of noise ordinances. If not, you'd probably hear it from strip malls. I suspect what stops us from seeing more blimps is cost. They're expensive to operate, and billboards are cheap.
