parasailing & advertising

so this being a beach community and people sit on the beach all day long ... of course there are aerial advertisements that go by behind little planes. well today i noticed there are little banners behind the boats that do parasailing. now this is odd to me because i looked into parasailing, thinking it would be fun and not too expensive. well it does look fun but not fun enough for $80 per person if you have 2 people and $100 for one person. and then to see the parasailing company has advertisements on the line that they send people up on seems like a very smart thing for them...they make money by sending some idiot or 2 idiots up to parasail for $120 or $80 each and they make money by selling the advertising space. bravo to them!! also in case you didnt know i love billboards and i am deprived of them in cape may ( victorian times must not have had billboards) so i love the planes and now i love the parasail boats that fly by or speed by with a short but sweet ad trying to get me to go somewhere and spend my money. well i think they are target advertising to tourists..but hey i can see them fly by so they got me too.
