Atheist bus hits the streets of London!
When this lovely lady, comedy writer Ariane Sherine, wrote a blog piece in The Guardian saying she was fed up of being bullied by Christian advertising campaigns telling her she was going straight to hell, little did she realise she was hitting a nerve. A really big sensitive one.
Half-jokingly starting a campaign to raise money to get the slogan ‘There’s probably no god. Now stop worrying and enjoy your life’, she ended up raising £145,000 - including some cash dollar in a non-recognized denomination from us - in record time. Enough not only to get that message on the sides of buses but also on the Tube and on billboards across London.
‘This is a great day for freedom of speech in Britain,’ quoth Ms. Sherine at a huge launch do at the Albert Memorial in London’s glittering Kensington Gardens. ‘I hope it makes people smile on the way to work.’

- We’re actually still trying to work out who Kim Kardashian is. In the meantime, let’s look at this magazine cover.
- Horrible door.
- Which English actor who we already have a major crush on has a bottom like this?
- Cheryl and Ashley are finally divorced. The world stops moving, like in that show FlashForward that was on Channel Five, ergo, nobody watched it.
- And the Marc Jacobs award for Never Knowingly Appearing in a Photograph With a Shirt On Goes To… (rustle, rustle of envelope being opened) Jake Shears!
I just spoke to God about this, and she is pissed.
I’m starting my own campaign to get funding on the sides of buses. It’ll be called ‘The Pope is a c*nt’.
Yay for this!
About friggin’ time!
I would like an advert that reads, ‘I went to Heaven and all I got was bummed’.
Or maybe ‘I was within touching distance of Russell Brand and all I got was Chlamydia’.
Hurrah! Now — America !!!
I bet you *could* raise enough money to put ‘The Pope is a c*nt’ on the side of a bus in London — but the powers-that-be wouldn’t allow it. Shame. It needs saying!
