Before we start, I know I'm a bad speller.

Anyway what does everyone think of this:

news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/london/7681914.stm

I know that the stories are from a while back and that the campaign started in October but the adverts were rolled out today.

With an initial aim of raising £5,500 to advertise on 2 buses for 4 weeks in that there London the campaign has now raised £135K and could be rolled out accross the country.

Personally I really like it, the fact that the "other" view is now presented and I think I will make a donation when I get home (secure computer).

i think the initial marketing idea - the posters on buses - is now not the point. the press they got from this has reached far more people, as evidenced by the £135k raised. they have to put the posters up as that's what they asked for the donations for, but i'm sure they're more than happy with the number of people reached without them.

As pointless as any form of religious advertising. I don't read Christian billboards I wont read those ones either. If I want to go to a church I'll go to one, if I don't, I wont
