The first Google Earth ad!

Maxim, U.S.A. on MAXIM ONLINE has built a huge poster (75 foot X 110 foot) in the desert near Las Vegas that can be seen by Google Earth (visible at ~5000 foot, then zoom in). Here's a link to the KML file to open Google Earth and go directly to that part of the desert. If you don't have Google Earth (and, why don't you, since it's free!) here's what you're missing. And, yes, that is a pickup truck at the bottom of the picture! (Click to see a larger version).

Be sure to check Tech Republic's pictures showing the assembly of the poster, complete with Las Vegas showgirls as "pins" holding the top of the poster:
