Atheist "One Nation Indivisible" Ad Defaced

Folks are not feeling the Atheists up in Charlotte, N.C.

An Atheist group paid for this billboard to be displayed on Billy Graham Parkway last week, then out of nowhere, it was defaced:

“It was done by one or two people off on their own who decided their only recourse was vandalism rather than having a conversation,” Charlotte Atheists & Agnostics spokesman William Warren said. “It does show how needed our message is. As atheists, we want to let people know we exist and that there’s a community here.” Warren told the Observer when the sign first went up that its location wasn't intended as a rebuke to the Rev. Graham.

He said the group has added more than 50 members since the ad went up. Atheist ads are often a target for vandals. Three of 10 atheist billboards erected in Sacramento, Calif., were defaced in February, and a series of atheist bus ads was recently vandalized in Detroit.

No ManCrunch ads, please

So most of you know that Tim Tebow and his mama will have an ad during the Super Bowl, thanks to Focus of the Family.

CBS took a hit on their decision from many groups. But now, they are trying to extend the olive branch by possibly showing a gay ad, from ManCrunch.

This is it


Their slogan reads “Where Many Many Many Men Come Out to Play”

This ad may not get aired, I hope not. If we are going to have an ad, make it something of substance; something about gay families, gay teens or allies standing with us.

Just something more. something else.

Interesting Quote: Tim Tebow





"I know some people won't agree with it, but I think they can at least respect that I stand up for what I believe, and I'm never shy about that. I don't feel like I'm very preachy about it, but I do stand up for what I believe. Unfortunately in today's society not many athletes tend to do that. So I'm just standing for something."

You can Hate and get Paid for it


Casting Director James Stiles is looking for two women to be in a Hate on Gay marriage ad in Maine.

Stiles is looking for a “teacher type” and a “working waitress type,” both in the 35-45 age range. If you want to try out, he’s holding auditions from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. Wednesday (Sept. 2) at the Howard Johnson in South Portland.

If you’re hired, it’s a three day gig that pays $500 a day.

Sad stuff, y'all, sad stuff.

DNC jumps on the GOP's Resistance to Change

Yesterday, old GOPers: McCain, Cheney and Newt pretty much vetoed the idea of changing up their party. They believe they should remain the way they are and keep moving on.

However, the Dems seized the opportunity to define the GOP as the party of old and no...and they did it in an ad

Steele, start leading your party.
