What’s Happened To V: The New Series Skywriting Promotion??

ABC was planning to promote V: The New Series by sending skywriters to write “ V ” in red around famous landmarks around 26 cities, including the Golden Gate Bridge.. In response to a constituent concerned about the environmental and visual impact of this, Supervisor Bevan Dufty has fired off letters to the city, the bridge authority and the FAA..

Fans have been looking to the sky for any sign of the red V, but are still yet to see them.. An ABC spokesperson said network has simply decided to spend its money in other ways..

This came after the backlash from a report that Washington Post reporter, Lisa de Moraes, wrote.. The reporter estimated the amount of pollution the skywriting campaign would cause ( 800 grams of lead, three tons of CO2, etc ), and noted ABC’s parent company Disney had recently promised to cut its fuel emissions in half by 2012..

Since posting the first draft of this update, fans have expressed dismay that ABC is not going through with the stunt which, at the very least, was a clever idea that would have garnered the show plenty of attention.. What would have seen? How about something like this..
