Now this is kinda scary. Florida based airline AirTran is planning on putting Elton John's face on the side of twenty of its Boeing 717 planes to promote the fact passengers can now listen to satellite radio at their seats - presumably a reference to Elton's song 'Satellite'.

Elton's website reports that "Elton's head is about the same size as the one on the Statute of Liberty." Well,

I think we already knew that.
