...psyche! Looks like someone's PR budget just ballooned!
Londoners witnessed a unique sight this past Thursday when their iconic Tower Bridge swung open to permit a massive hot air balloon to sail through unscathed on its journey down the chilly Thames.
Marking next week's UK cinematic opening of Disney-Pixar's "Up", the hot air extravaganza featured one huge balloon covered with 500 smaller half-balloons, pulled by a trusty tugboat.
Tower Bridge typically allows only regular water craft to pass through its drawbridge but in the past has also welcomed a cheesy promotional statue of Michael Jackson back in 1995 (I was there visiting the Tower of London that day, and couldn't believe my eyes!).

Isn't it neat? I can only imagine how awesome it must have been to see it in person.
Definitely cooler than an MJ statue. Talented as he was.
