Wait...they're putting what in the sky?

Apparently, given a couple earlier freakouts from random ambient advertising in big cities, we get to see staff emails like these that somewhat expose the absolute ridiculousness of the whole thing.

Subject: Skywriting Alert

This is a special message from the Downtown Emergency Response Team.

The ABC network is utilizing skywriting planes to create large red “V” patterns over major U.S. cities. ABC is organizing the promotional event to publicize a new alien invasion themed television series called “V”. It is reported that “V” patterns will be flown over cities such as New York and L.A. and the skywriting will be done at multiple times per day until the “V” series launches on 11/3/09 @ 8:00 PM. ABC has released a list of cities where the skywriting will take place, however the network has not identified specific locations where the skywriting will occur. October 27 - 12:00 p.m. Dallas, TX
