Yeah, I wondered what the big problem was...there's some claims that certain sponsored sporting events might not come to places where the opposition colors were flying, as it were, on the blimp above the stadium.

Funny that Ford and Holden have no problem with thier colors and flags flying virtually side by side at every car race meeting, and they are telecast everywhere.

The Holden Blimp owners said that there are regulations for advertising on the ground, but the sky is free. Now the government is talking about rushing through special laws to control the blimp and similar advertising.

I hope it doesn't go...I'm a big fan of blimps. As for that tool Hinchcliffe saying it is simply "ugly", can you think of any aircraft more graceful than a blimp or airship gliding serenely across the sky? All blimps are pure timeless art-deco style, and always have been.

Bring back the massive luxury airships of the 1930's, I say!

erm...filled with helium instead of hydrogen as in the Hindenberg of course...

governments gone mad! revenue hungry mofos, they cant accept that some things are for free in the world can they.

Miss Piper?! What about Mr Hayden-Smith?? I missed those blimps....

But Mr Beattie needs a head check. I bet he doesn't even think Rose is hot....

**greenfoam** · 27-10-2006, 02:49 AM

Maybe Mr Beattie wants Mr Hayden-Smith, hey!?, That's why he didn't notice how pretty the bimps were...... or Rose. Didn't think about that one did you

**DavidPartay** · 27-10-2006, 08:48 AM

I think the blimp is cool too

**smokey_dj** · 27-10-2006, 10:25 AM

i think this is half the reason why the hershies choc blimp dissapeered

**chappy** · 27-10-2006, 10:55 AM

Beattie simply has folded under preassure from the Ford company who say they see the Holden Blimp as advertising.

Maybe the Ford company should just get a Ford blinp.

What are we coming to when the the premier of queensland fold to preassure from a bloody car company.

Leave the bloody blinp alone.

**brownie82** · 27-10-2006, 05:22 PM

Yeah its all a crock of s***. As was mentioned that the air is free for advertising unless it poses a safety risk. Now if it were a FORD blimp i would understand, things falling off, oil trails and so on and so forth. Hmmm come to think of it prob wouldnt even get off the ground to be a real safety threat. Anyway just something else for someone to whinge about. I wonder what will be next..... Stay tuned, theres bound to be something.

Cheers Brownie
