OLO MIKE in Ocean City

OLO is the name of the largest kite I have ever seen. The only thing I can think of that fits is Obscenely Large Octopus.

Ocean City is best known as one of America's favorite summer beach resorts. Miles of clean, wide, and sandy beaches help draw millions of visitors every year. Ocean City also draws people for its fishing, water sports, 2.5 mile long boardwalk, shopping, and not to mention more than a dozen nearby golf courses.
