If you live an Ann Arbor could you do me a favor?

Put a big "STOP THE WAR" sign on the roof of your house, just in case it gets caught by a camera doing aerial shots of today's big football game.

Thanks in advance for your cooperation.

1. and you really think the director

would let that on the air?

no chance in hell.

2. That's the beauty of live television

And it might be subtle enough that the directors wouldn't notice.

Almost subliminable ya know.

3. the director decides when to cut to the blimp camera

and that would not be while cruising over the neighborhoods, just happening to pass over such a sign. The blimp shots will be few and focused on the stadium.

The crew in the blimp might see it, sure, but it won't get on "live television."

Now if a bunch of people in the stands were to hold up colored cards spelling out a message...
But that takes planning.

4. It might be more effective for someone inside the stadium to roll one out....

Someone seated close to the field....and keep your eye out for the camera....an ambush protest. And it is Ann Arbor, so such an occurence is highly conceivable.

5. Maybe we could convince the visiting Ohio State fans to wear black to protest

That would really be cool
