Stay-At-Home Mom Who Never Rides The Bus Is Pissed About Ads On Bus
In the Examiner this morning, there was a rebuttal to the “Why believe in a god?” ads. The focus was on this house wife with three kids who was just so darn mad about the ads, she decided to do something about it! Her and some Christian friends got together, including the Center for Family Development, and are now going to run their own ad campaign! Their ad asks “Why Believe? Because I created you and I love you, for goodness’ sake.” They raised enough good ol’ godly money to pay for four weeks of ads on/in 200 buses.
Is it just me or is this fucking ridiculous?
She's cooking an atheist in that oven.
I was thinking…while I was riding the metro today…there are A LOT of things I find highly offensive. For one, people who smell bad. Since my main mode of transportation happens to be of the public variety, I am forced to sit next to people with non-existent hygiene habits. Sometimes, it is actually so bad it makes me sick. But when it comes down to it, smelly people are just a fact of life. And I believe there is a group of people that openly support being smelly. They are called hippies. They don’t wear deodorant or wash their hair, and apparently they have ideological reasons for not doing so…toxins…or…corporate America…or some shit.
Come join us. Don't bring shampoo.
If they somehow sold enough knitted ponchos and patchouli candles to pay for a “Why wear deodorant? Your musk is beautiful” ad campaign, I would be like “WTF?” but my reaction would definitely not be to get a group of douche bags together to counter their point with a “Your musk is disgusting. Please get a Speedstick” ad. I may THINK that and suggest it to friends, but I wouldn’t do it. Everyone is entitled to their own opinions. Just because it may go against yours, doesn’t mean you have to be all up in arms about it.
I’m sick of Christians. And hippies, drunks on the bus, and obese people who sweat a lot.
