Drone-based skywriting advertises a TV show based on a video game

There was (is?) a giant LED billboard for a furniture store on I-70 right in the middle Denver that would cycle between a dark background image and then a blinding, all white background. At night they didn’t adjust the brightness down, and it would absolutely obliterate my vision for a few seconds if I was driving by on the image change over.

I never did track down the company and make a formal complaint (I just moved to a state that happens to not allow billboards instead), so I suppose I’m complicit if it’s still out there flash-blinding drivers with eleventy-bajillion-candlepower ads for a matching bedroom suite.

I wonder how many distracted drivers these drone ads cause? Especially since they can be seen for very long distances.
