I wonder who paid for this advertisement on the side of a bus, and what country it was done in? (There's no way that could be in America, the Religious Right would be up in arms and boycotting buses or something.)

Hm, there's a whole page of them here, including this, um, winner? I really wonder what that small print says...

One of the comments says "By the way, the campaign has expanded to Canada." so maybe it is in America? If so, color me surprised.

(I'm pretty sure that first link is photoshopped.)

Here via friendsfriends.

Most of these are fakes. AFAIK, there's only one genuine ad: "There's probably no God. Now stop worrying and enjoy your life."

And it's in the UK; you can learn all about it on their site :)

Yeah, it wouldn't surprise me if it were photoshopped.

Thanks for the link!

Ah, that makes sense. I did wonder if they were photoshopped, but first page of google results mentioned nothing about that...

Thanks for the link! ^^

Most of them will probably not be photoshopped, but produced by this bus advert generator (http://ruletheweb.co.uk/b3ta/bus/).

(I created this one (http://i44.tinypic.com/30m5t09.jpg) to commemorate the Call of Cthulhu campaign I'm currently playing in.)

The original advertisements started in Europe, they have some of them in Washington DC as well apparently, and just last week the advertisements were given the go ahead by the TTC (transit people) for the GTA (Greater Toronoto Area) to put them on the sides of the buses around here.

My radio is tuned into talk radio all day so I hear about stuff like this >.>

From your link: "Faith may not move mountains, but you should see what it does to skyscrapers."

Poignant. I like it.
