(Plane Stupid is a good name)
I'd have a to disagree here.

Where I live, and where I've lived recently, plane stupid folks are, well, plain bloody stupid. In London, they have a legitimate gripe and cause, with the 3rd runway controversy at Heathrow. In the 2 major American cities I've seen them represented in, they argue about, well, the presence of airplanes. The fact that they make noise, the flight patters, etc. You know, people that move into a neighborhood under the approach path of KPHL's runways then bitch about the noise and traffic.
When I lived in Vegas, the local plane stupid morons who lived on the west side of town, the folks with money and nice houses, complained of the airplanes going over their houses, noise, etc without one single thought to the fact that Vegas survives on tourism, and those annoying little planes are what brings their salaries and lifestyles to their doors.

Plane stupid is a bad name for an organization that acts so plainy stupid.
