The Advertising Standards Agency has decided on whether the ‘Athiest Bus’ has broken any rules.
And I would like to paraphrase here…
Fuck off you witless god-bothering cocks.
Oh, alright. Here’s what they really said
But the body concluded the adverts were unlikely to mislead or cause widespread offence and closed the case.
But
[ASA] said it assessed 326 complaints. Some claimed the wording was offensive to people who followed a religion.
326 people are offended by someone asking them if they’ve ever thought that there might not be a god. That’s what that line is saying
While some of the complaints claimed the adverts were offensive and denigrated people of faith, others challenged whether they were misleading because the advertiser would not be able to substantiate its claim that God “probably” did not exist.
What about all the ads and posters about god and church and stuff? According to their logic, they would have to substantiate the claim that there is probably a god. Which is just as hard.
And if one person can satisfactorily prove to me that there is a god beyond doubt, I will eat my blog.
I agree – and I will only be convinced of the existence of God by the discovery of a Babelfish.
Until then, would the sky-pilots kindly keep their deluded beliefs to themselves and OFF large signs on my work commute, mmmkay?

The babelfish was just the sort of proof I was thinking of.
Good news, me and the missus have been having intense debates about this for some time, I have more facts to beat her with. HURRAH!
