It wouldn't matter if it was a product I liked. I can't stand corporate logos plastered over everything. It's never more likely to make me buy their product and even moreso I don't like corporate logos plastered indiscriminately over our technological achievements such as this.

That's great that Red Bull invested money into this project, but I'm against this obsessive marketing.

"No face heat..."
...the radio silence is not encouraging.

jokingly says...

ahh yet another perpetuation of this supposed "round earth" conspiracy perpetuated by "the man"

*length=fucking long

That was absolutely amazing. I was brought to tears. Whew!

That is all *kill
