Advertise on the Moon

Jones, has designed a three wheeled robot that can cruise around the moon's surface and create small ridges in the dust that will capture shadows and shape them into logos, domain names, memorials, and even portraits. The ads will be visible to Earth, and will obviously reach more people as we rotate and the moon orbits around us.
Assuming that Jones is serious and you really want to send in your bid, make sure that you realize that you're just bidding for a license to Jone's "patent pending" technology. As far as actually financing and logistics behind building the robots, putting them on a launch pad, sending them to the moon, and maneuvering them around from Earth, that's a whole other story.
Jones does warn that there may be potential political and social challenges that you may consider, but this isn't a joke. Jones is really taking bids at advertising on the moon.
Some feel that Jones is just picking fun at someone's expense, but hey, if it works, you never know what kind of business you can get using the moon as your billboard.
Me, I think it's silly. We don't need to carve up the moon for personal gain.
