Am I the only one who finds this appalling???
Are we really OK with allowing the SKY to be commercialized? Isn't the sky a public good? Do we really want to live in a world where we can't even look up without having corporate slogans jammed down our throats?
Not to mention the environmental impacts and gratuitous waste of sending up FIVE planes for the job.
I'll agree that the skywriting is kind of cool in itself, from a creative and technological standpoint, but on the balance I think this is a horrible thing.

I strongly disagree. Toronto is a city of commerce. Commerce makes the word go round. A clever and completely benign marketing message in the sky generates a multitude of employment avenues that benefits society. Pilots, local flight schools, advertising jobs, grounds crew, etc. Claritin is not selling heroine. If you don't like advertising may I suggest retiring to the tranquility of Northern Ontario or perhaps Communist Cuba would be more appropriate.
