Advertisements for Banning Religion



This is neat to me for many reasons, a) the courage it took to face such a heady topic b) as a demonstration of the power advertising (see: propoganda) can have on the public by playing into people's emotions and putting it in a pretty package and c) because they're pretty good ads, they're not overwhelmingly negative. you can't not step on anyone's toes with something like this, but they had a clear positive and progressive message

sidenote: I am in no way advocating religion should be banned. but those who know me know that, and those that don't know me probably don't care what i think ("just shut the fuck up and POST COOL SHIT")

all in all this was pretty cool, and just goes to show that a convincing ad campaign can be a powerful/dangerous tool in the right/wrong hands. the difference being somewhere between opinion A/opinion B
