There is a fleet of hot air balloons with ads on them flying over my house. Can't even enjoy the morning sky without being sold stuff

The one I like is a patchwork of different materials, with very obvious seams on it. The logo is 'Craig's Balloon Repairs'.

I'd be less annoyed if they put any effort into the designs.

The Red Balloon one has their logo. It's on a GIANT RED BALLOON YOU DON'T NEED THE LOGO

They wouldn't even be that effective as advertisements. They're super high up and you can't control where they go. The most charitable explanation is they take the money to cover some of the time and running costs
