Actually something like this was just recently done in Atlantic City, NJ. The Harrahs Casino new Waterfront Tower has LED's incorporated all around the building not just one side. It plays full motion video and also scrolls on all four sides. Here is a link to a picture. The picture is not very good because I think the LED's might be interlaced or something so it does not look as crisp as it does in person when it is running but you get the idea. http/www.philly.com/philly/entertainment/20081003_CasiNotes__The_Lights_at_Harrah_s_becomes_a_tourist_attraction.html

If they hook a TV tuner card up to it, the entire country could watch for free . Of course, then they would have to vote on what channel to watch...
