If Elijah doesn't change the graphics back, he is going to loose half the pledges

2 days costs 100,000 dollars? fuck that....this is a scam.....someone better explain these numbers...

Is someone trying to make 650,000 dollars this month or what?

The numbers do NOT add up at all.

 

[pointe]

40,000 minutes is about 667 hours. its not for just one month.

Yeah, remember the $350,000 covered 160 flying hours for the month...

 

[cien750hp]

Seriously, are you kidding me? where exactly does the other 650,000 dollars per month go to?? The blimp costs 350,000 per month, and you are asking for 1 million for 27 days?

Flat out question.....is any person making money off this blimp idea?

I would NOT donate tio this now, and I would pull away from any pledge I made...this is becoming a scam fast.

that is if the blimp is flying 24 hours a day. that is not even possible. this would buy probaby over three months worth of flying time. you have to give the crew rest time and maintenance on the blimp

 

[moberley]

The blimp is selling ad space now? Fuck that...a million dollars for 40,000 minutes? That is the whole month...this thing got stupid fast, and now looks like people are trying to make money off of it.

WTF the blimp is selling ad space?

What utter bullshit...the blimp costs 350,000, but you want people to pay 1 million for the month?? I would pull my pledge right now if I was a donor.

Actually, they are selling a timeshare of one single ad space (a blimp). People who pay them are purchasing that amount of time of blimp operation. It's just like the condos down in the sunbelt except its renting a blimp to put a sign on it.

I'm not affiliated. This is just what I read on the website.

 

[BeFranklin]

why would you pick a design that so many people hate?

I don't think its that bad. I didn't think it was the best, but that doesn't mean I "hate" it like some of the agitators on here have been driving a consensus for.

I'm not consented to it. Its a pretty good design. My nitpicking doesn't mean I'm now agreeing with the hate the blimpers. Guess thats the problem with agitators. Make other people seem to agree with them when they don't by their loud, rude behaviors.

 

[steph3n]

It can NOT say President that is the whole issue, it needs to most effective name recognition without saying it.

Maybe one side should say:
FEC Censored: Ron Paul for President with President cross out and instead saying Prezident

It would have two good points bringing attention to censored free speech, and having Ron Paul in there

 

[JohnnyWrath]

There are roughly 43200 minutes in a month....

$350,000 divided by 43200 equals $8.10 per minute to run the blimp

1,000,000 that is being asked for 40,000 minutes equals $25 per minute.

13 dollars per minute is missing?? Over half a million dollars???

I will report this to the authorities as an online scam if someone doesn't offer up an explanation?

IS SOMEONE MAKING MONEY OFF OF THIS...YES OR NO?

 

[macdee]

This is all coming out in real time folks!

The process is totally transparent! No one is making decisions in the back room!

It's tough, all happening online too! These issues will get resolved asap.

Don't get discouraged though. It's all happening in "real time." All issues are being discussed at this moment. Trying to please everyone!

You might want to get a good nights sleep while things are being worked out.

I myself am easy to please, I'm ok with the artwork as is. If changes are made, I'm ok with that too. Sleep on it.

We'll get this thing done and off the ground! Boston Harbor here we come! Tea Party 07!

Yes, but i doubt the salaries are very high.

Its blimp ad time in the air, so its about 160 hours a month * 60 minutes an hour
= 240,000 roughly, which is about what has been posted all along.

The numbers do NOT add up at all.

Originally $350,000 for 160 hours = $36.46/Minute. At that rate, 4,000 minutes would cost $145,840. But the website lists only $100,000. So it is actually cheaper than the original rate.

 

[macdee]

Well... I don't have a million dollars. So I'm not going to worry to much about it. I'll go with the lower rate though if we reach one million dollars. Good point by the way.

I don't think they thought about it that way. They were just throwing numbers up without thinking. They were pressed HARD to get the web site up!

It needs to be corrected though to the lower amount per minute. I'm glad you guys were on top of this!

 

[Hook]

The original $350,000 was for a month, but not 24/7. Only 160 hours, which averages to 6 hours/day.

So calm down there Johnny.

 

[fredricko]

I've seen mentions of $50,000 per graphic as well (though I admit I do not know where that figure comes from), which makes up for the $100,000 discrepancy .

Are you kidding me? Have you seen the site?

They're a FOR PROFIT company taking people's money with NO GUARANTEE to give it back if THEY DON'T DO WHAT THEY "PROMISED".

.
Hey, I'm building a bridge. Give ME your money. Now, remember, I'm NOT saying that I'll give your money back if I DON'T build a bridge.

.
IT'S ALL MINE!!! Your money is ALL MINE!!! HA HA HA HA... SUCKERS!!!! I'm livin' LARGE on your "bridge" dreams that I SOLD you. ha ha ha ha...

are you a dumbass sir? Please take your time to analyze the situation the blimp is not going to run 24/7.

 

[JohnnyWrath]

The Blimp Is Selling Advertising Space....it Doesn't Have To Be Even Related To Ron Paul....this Is A Money Making Scheme.

This is a means to advertise without violating laws.

please johnny go troll somewhere else

I don't think so based on who is running it.

That would be no point in it anyway. $350k is just a drop in the bucket. This is relatively small money.
