I have worked in retail for many years and that sign made me think twice. Not for long tho. I put up a sign that said "Self Esteem Hoodies Only $14.99" once. Took a pic with my cell phone and still...

Neat trick that. I could see being used in a support role and it is a rather unorthodox way of getting a heli carrier. The superstructure does have a few surfaces that are sloped to refract radar...
