installed and in use in IRAQ by U.S. Troops:

Bah. The US military will buy anything for Iraq. Why use a
conventional antenna tower when you can have one that's inflatable?

The videos are worth watching. The 100ft version can support 200lbs
of radio junk at the top and only weights 1200 lbs. Ugh. Rumor has
it that they use these for temporary wireless towers, but I would have
expected to see one on the news painted like a dumbell.

That's hilarious. In addition to all the people wanting one for a sex
toy, I imagine they could sell a bunch as wind indicators that are
nearly visible from space. I know at least the Rolling Stones would like
to have a few for their next tour.

That was no fun at all. It just took me to a login page.

Yeah, pretty useless, unless it's a scheme to boost the number of
"members" at the sveasoft "support network"...

Nah, Pink Floyd already had the huge inflatable pigs.
I think they were part of "Dogs of War" in the last US tour.
Hard to judge how tall they were, probably 50 feet.

Maybe they can make a deal with Pfizer to paint 'em blue . . .
