'Up' airship spotted

This real-life airship promoting Up was spotted floating over the San Fransisco Bay Area and Silicon Valley in California earlier today.

A product of Airship Ventures, this type of zeppelin is several times larger than a typical blimp, being larger, in fact, then a Boeing 747 jet.

Several pictures of the Up-branded dirigible in flight are now on Flickr, including the one displayed above.

That's cool, but what we all really want to see is a hot air balloon shaped like a million balloons, and a basket shaped like Carl's house. Who's with me?

Me.

Me too!
Probably the reason why they wouldn't make one is because hot air balloons are much smaller then the airships, so people wouldn't be able to see what it was promoting as well and it would be considered a waste of money.
