One of our favorite recent stories on Deadspin involves ex-NBA player Reggie Miller, who apparently hit on the wrong man’s woman (though the ongoing story suggests there are a lot of folks at fault here). The peeved man had that banner flown recently over some California beaches.

While a story of infidelity is not something to poke fun at, the story did get us thinking about how much fun airplane banners are in general. Do you ever NOT try to read one if you see one in the sky? Even if it’s just promoting laundry detergent, it’s a sight to behold.

We poked around on the Internet and found a site that indicated the cost of such a thing starts at around $590. We have to imagine it would go up if you wanted more people to see it (that price seemed to be for a special occasion like a proposal or birthday). So, let’s assume it would take some serious cash to get it prominently shown in a densely populated area. If you had that kind of money, what would you put on your banner and where would you want it flown?
