The London buses

Is there anyone in the London area prepared to do anything about this outrageous slogan that will soon appear on the buses? I can think of lots of things that could be done.

It's not as if it's being funded by the new Mayor's Office, seems it will be in other cities too, including here.

Why not, if they pay the same rate as other charities or advertisers?

Legitimately you can sign the petition at change.org or contribute to a rival advertising campaign

Is there anywhere you can go to give it a thumbs up (but if the campaign worked, what would all those people then do with their free time)? 'Good things' comes to mind and anyone can do that without being the member of any club. ;-)

Outrageous? So you don't believe in free speech or balance? (but do believe in fairies, it seems)

"Gather the rewards of ramadan, subhan Allah, Donate now, Islamic relief"

The bus ads will run on 180 buses in London for two weeks. It will then return for a further two weeks at the end of Ramadan on 180 buses in London and 460 more in Birmingham, Manchester, Leicester and Bradford.

Interesting read of:

Quote, "In Southampton, a bus driver refused to drive a bus displaying the advert. His employers, First Bus, undertook to find him another bus to drive"

I wonder if TFL will have the same sympathy for drivers of these buses?

How terribly outrageous.

Yes, Bill. You're right. There are lots of things that can be done. I suggest firebombing the infected buses. That'll really achieve your aims.

Or, perhaps, you could do the exact same as you do to every other bus advert - and just ignore it.

What if a bus driver with animal-rights sympathies decided they didn't want to drive this...?

Or a feminist bus driver decided they didn't want to drive this...?

Or an anti-capitalist bus driver decided they didn't want to drive this...?

Perhaps EVERY bus driver should just get over what happens to be advertised on it...

There is a simple set of rules that applies to all adverts, no matter what for. Whether we, individually, like the product or not. If you think an ad breaches those rules, complain to the ASA. They are politically independent, and will rule only on whether the ad breaches those rules.

If it doesn't, then get over yourself. Yes, it is that simple.

to find it....)! 1) adopt the "christian" attitude of tolerance 2) accept that their opinion is at least as valid as the nonsense I assume you believe in. 3) Suck it up, get a life and don't be so precious!

They first used the slogan:

"There's probably no god. Now stop worrying and enjoy your life."

Should the word 'probably' be there in a slogan for the Atheist Bus Campaign?

Agnostic rather than atheist maybe.
