Default Cool or sick?

"Jim Burns" wrote in message
news
Maybe I'm reading way too much into it, but I'm wondering what message
he's
trying to send.

As an A&P


"As an A&P"? Who is an A&P? You? Or the guy who made the Halloween
display?

is he saying flying isn't safe due to poor maintenance?


No.

Is he trying to say to passengers "you have no control, you should feel
vulnerable when you fly?"


No.

Is he trying to raise public awareness of some safety issue?


No.

Since I can't figure it out, I'll stand on the side of "sick" for the
reason
that he takes a form of public transportation that most people trust the
representatives of that company with their lives and then says "this is
what
can happen to you if you fly".


It *can* happen to you if you fly. But even if it couldn't, so what? I see
lots of stuff during Halloween that isn't possible.

I understand Halloween displays that say "this is what can happen if you
drink and drive" or "this is your brain on drugs",


You do? I have never seen a Halloween display made with that intent.
Perhaps you could point me to a few so we can understand what you mean.

but I don't see this one as a public service announcement.


I've never seen a Halloween display intended as a PSA.

As far as "cool", I think it would be cool if he had an airplane "parked"
in
his yard. "Pilot lands safely in residence front yard, no reported
injuries." Yeah, you loose the gore factor, but you raise allot less
questions about your motive.


Uh...well, an airplane safely parked in the front yard wouldn't have
anything to do with Halloween. The "gore factor" is the whole point.

You DO understand what Halloween celebrates, don't you? Your post implies
that you don't.
