**** ENORMOUS RADIO TOWER PLACED ATOP EARTH
RKO Radio Pictures Could Disrupt Earth's Orbit With Colossal New Logo
TOWER BASE 2. NOME, Alaska - In a promotional scheme criticized 
by many as overly ambitious and wasteful, RKO Radio Pictures has 
erected a massive radio-transmitting antenna over a million times 
larger than any other structure ever built by man.
Rising from the Arctic Circle, the colossal tower is affixed to 
the Earth by four support pylons mounted in Greenland, 
northernmost Alaska, the Soviet Union and an artificial island in 
the Northern Pacific specially constructed for the project. The 
full height of the structure is estimated at some 170,000 miles, 
dwarfing New York's Empire State Building, previously the tallest 
man-made structure at 1,449 feet.
*Other Statistics Of The Tower*
The weight of the structure is estimated at roughly one-eighth 
the weight of the Earth itself.
Steel produced by ten nations and comprising over 90 percent of 
the world's steel resources was used to build the tower. Over 70 
percent of the world's existing steel structures had to be 
destroyed, melted down, and incorporated into its mighty, 
200-mile-wide support beams.
*Publicity For The Studio*
While it is undoubtedly generating publicity for the studio, many 
astronomers are concerned about the tower's effect on Earth's 
orbit around the sun. According to David Childs of the University 
of Delaware, "actually constructing a working radio tower, with 
such a powerful signal strength that its transmissions are 
visible as huge lightning bolts soaring through outer space, 
could compromise the integrity of Earth's position in the solar 
system."
Since the tower's activation, no one on Earth has been able to 
tune in to any non-RKO broadcast, regardless of how the tuning 
dial is adjusted.
There is no word yet on whether the RKO tower will interfere with 
the flight pattern of Universal Pictures' moon-sized 
single-engine airplane, which presently circles our Earth in a 
continuous orbit above the Equator.
As the world marvels at the scope of the tower project, almost as 
amazing is the installation of tremendous letters spelling out 
"An RKO Radio Picture," orbiting the Earth so as to appear 
motionless relative to the tower and the planet Earth.
RKO constructed the tower to promote its latest motion-picture 
release, "Ranch House Romeo."

Vabbè, dai, non ti sei perso poi niente.
Se saltava fuori che era vero, a questo punto
avrei fatto un riassuntino.
