Not that I care about the message, it just makes me chuckle that all this has started here, frankly, I'm beginning both sides would just shut the hell up and let people get on with their lives without having either opinion rammed down their throats. Maybe I should get together my own little campaign.
'All of you, shut up and let us enjoy our lives!'
or maybe
'Our lives would be more enjoyable without arguments on the side of Busses'
-
:lol:
I'll second that. Im sure the rest of the HLP-London Crew will agree as well
-
In my opinion there was never a greater waste of money in the history of the world. Except maybe US presidential election adverts. :rolleyes:
-
'All of you, shut up and let us enjoy our lives!'
Isn't that what the Atheists were asking of the Catholics/Protestants/Muslims/Jews/etc.?

Not really.
-
At least your bus system will be well funded because of this.....
-
:lol:
I never thought of it like that
:wakka:
maybe it is some use if it raises the money to have a decent bus system...
Down with Bendy-Buses - London Routemasters Forever!
Ahem!...

Plenty of Catholics/Protestants/Muslims/Jew/etc. want the same thing; it goes both ways.
EDIT: Better ad; "God is dead, and I killed him"
If I could find a picture of Nietzsche with a hunting rifle I would stick that on the ad as well. It's early in the morning and my photoshop skills aren't at their peak.

The Russian Orthodox Church plans ads on 25 buses that read: "There IS a God, BELIEVE. Don't worry and enjoy your life."
....Or else. :lol:
Am I the only one who finds the shouted imperative to believe rather Orwellian? :D
To be honest I think this is going to end up being another load of advertising that gets paid no attention at all.

It's certainly very Russian. :D

In Communist Russia, God bothers YOU!

Well it's certainly caught our attention. :p
-
Maybe, but we're a bunch of people on a forum who occasionally, by some sheer miracle of fried synapses, become alpha self-important twatts who enter into discussions over Sh!t like this only to have the thread locked two or three pages later.
-
Only when self-important twats like you start trying to create problems.
Basically, if you don't like it, don't post in it, but if you are going to deliberately start insulting members or creating a flame war, this thread won't get locked, you'll just end up monkeyed.
-
Ack, didn't mean to sound so jaded and bitter. I forgot my sarcasm tags. My bad!
-
Heh, fair enough, we all have bitter and twisted moments, but yeah, sarcasm tags help :p
-
How about "in Soviet Russia, God hears YOU."

I don't suppose anyone's seen this yet? (http://ruletheweb.co.uk/b3ta/bus/)

Seriously? I thought that the article up top was another one of related topic. That'll show me for skipping the link.
Tell ya what: Let's compare timestamps on these articles.
http://www.csmonitor.com/2009/0116/p01s04-woeu.html
This one is from Jan. 16
EDIT: Just checked the stamp on yours. It's from Feb 6. The atheist buses came first by a good two and a half weeks. That puts a little bit of a new twist on this thread, I think.The Russian Orthodox Church plans ads on 25 buses that read: "There IS a God, BELIEVE. Don't worry and enjoy your life."
....Or else. :lol:

To be honest I think this is going to end up being another load of advertising that gets paid no attention at all.
Lol, the athiest one says "There's probably no God, now stop worrying and enjoy your life." Sound familiar?
Am I the only one who finds the imperative to believe there is no God rather Orwellian? :D
-
The lack of the word 'probably', and the lacks of capitalization on the word 'BELIEVE' is what makes it Orwellian though.
If it had read 'There is no God, so STOP believing and enjoy your life', then it'd be more along the same lines ;)
And why does it put a twist in the thread, the article I actually linked to said exactly the same thing? In fact, the picture directly under the article title is of one of those buses. Even my first comment was about the fact it was annoying to see the two sides having an argument about it all over the sides of public transport.
-
Dang, I saw the title of the thread, looked at the date and posted without thinking. I tried to make a joke on the Orwellian thing.
Joke </epic fail>
Attention Span </epic fail>
-
:lol:
-
As I said it was the imperative that was Orwellian. BELIEVE, CONFORM, STOP THINKING.
-
Who cares?

:lol: Did you Photoshop that yourself? That's a good bit of editing!
-
I could have, but I just used this instead http://ruletheweb.co.uk/b3ta/bus/
Galemp linked to it :-P

Yup, just found it myself with Google, must have missed Galemps link :nervous:

Frankly, I think the modern man is sorrounded with so much flashy advertising that he learned to ignore it.
I have to be REALLY bored to ever look at an add of any kind.

Either that or it only affects you on a subconscious level.

That one should be put on real buses. It's delightfully subversive. :)
