A controversial Christmas billboard which was vandalised will be resurrected today by the church which put it up. The Auckland billboard shows a deflated looking Joseph and a disappointed Mary lying in bed together, with the caption "Poor Joseph, God was a hard act to follow." It was put up by Auckland's progressive Christian church St Matthew in the City. The vicar says he wanted to lampoon the literal Christian conception story and get people discussing miracles and God. But a few hours after the billboard went up, an angry man with a pot of brown paint covered over Mary...

An unholy row has broken out in New Zealand over a church billboard aimed at "challenging stereotypes" about the birth of Jesus Christ. A dejected-looking Joseph lies in bed next to Mary under the caption, "Poor Joseph. God was a hard act to follow". St Matthew-in-the-City Church in Auckland, which erected the billboard, said it had intended to provoke debate. But the Catholic Church, among others, has condemned it as "inappropriate" and "disrespectful". Within hours of its unveiling, the billboard had been defaced with brown paint. The church's vicar, Archdeacon Glynn Cardy, said the aim of the billboard had been...

OMG lmao the ADL is going to go out of their minds with this one! In the other latest billboard controversy in Missouri I pointed out they see Tea Party protesters as Extremists. Of course the Facist left who whined about free speech during the Bush years will be up in arms you know the drill do as I say not as I do. This dealership who has every right to express themselves has been receiving threats. What do you think please take THIS POLL.

A billboard at a Wheat Ridge car dealership — with a caricature of President Barack Obama as a turban- wearing jihadist — has sparked a boycott and death threats, but even more support, its sponsor said. Phil Wolf, owner of Wolf Automotive, said the billboard asks a legitimate question about Obama's alleged lack of documentation of his American birth. "President or Jihad?" the billboard reads. "Wake up, America! Remember Fort Hood!" Wolf said politicians have not been held accountable.

A new billboard off of Interstate 70 in Missouri provides a short “citizens guide to REVOLUTION of a corrupt government” and issues a call to “PREPARE FOR WAR.” It reads: 1. Starve the Beast. Keep your money. 2. Vote out incumbents. 3. If steps 1 & 2 fail.... You can guess the rest. This billboard replaces one that warned that the socialist “Obama-Nation” is “coming for you.” It’s unclear who the owner of the billboard is, but the first one was the work of a “Missouri businessman.” While it’s unclear who owns it, the Lafayette County Republican Central Committee seems...

(Excerpt) WHEAT RIDGE, Colo. - Call it Freedom of Speech. A billboard recently erected in Wheat Ridge compares President Barack Obama to a terrorist and questions his U.S. citizenship. The billboard, located at 4855 Miller Road, shows two cartoonish images of Obama wearing a Muslim turban and reads "PRESIDENT or JIHAD?" It also says "BIRTH CERTIFICATE - PROVE IT!" alluding to the conspiracy theory which claims Barack Obama was born in Kenya rather than Hawaii, which would disqualify him for the office of President. The words "WAKE UP AMERICA! REMEMBER FT. HOOD!" appear on the bottom of the billboard. (more...

NASHVILLE, Tenn. - A new Nashville organization classifies itself as non-religious, but the group's billboard has stirred up a religious debate. The organization behind the billboard is called Secular Life. Secular Life is a group of about 340 people who consider themselves part of the non-religious community. On Sunday, they began advertising on a billboard in Green Hills, and already Secular Life is getting a lot of attention. "It just absolutely wrong place, wrong town, wrong timing," said Green Hills resident Donnie Cude. Something about the phrase "Not Religious, You're not alone", doesn't sit well with Cude. "It's a slap...

LAKELAND - Motorists along one of Lakeland's major thoroughfares are being greeted with a billboard asking a provocative question: "Don't believe in God?" Then there's the answer: "You are not alone." The billboard went up Sunday on eastbound Memorial Boulevard near Martin Luther King Jr. Avenue, making Lakeland the second Florida city to have a billboard sponsored by an atheist organization.

The image of a baby sucking on a beer bottle is drawing eyes to a billboard on Route 154 in Deep River, Connecticut. "There's a lot of conversation about it, and that's good. Something like that makes people think and start talking," said Wayne Martin, who owns the bakery and deli next to the billboard. That's what the people who designed the billboard were trying to do. They say you take special care of your child as an infant and you should be doing the same when they're teenagers. That means not letting your teen drink. "Letting kids drink young...

BLUE SPRINGS, Mo. -- Drivers on Interstate 70 can barely see the billboard but once they do the message has been gaining attention. The billboard is located along I-70 between the Adams Dairy Parkway and the Grain Valley exits. The billboard reads, "How do you like your change now? Obama Nation. They are coming for you! The Taxpayer. First and Second Amendments are in jeopardy. Live free or Die." There is also a hammer and sickle on the sign. People said they might not agree with the sentiment of the sign, but they felt it was a matter of free...

BLUE SPRINGS, MO. – An unusual sign has appeared along Interstate 70 in Blue Springs. If you are traveling in the eastbound lanes of the freeway between Adams Dairy Parkway and the Grain Valley exit you will see a sign that appears to be anti-President Barack Obama. The sign features the hammer and sickle, a symbol of communism and insinuates that Obama will jeopardize the first and second amendments to the Constitution, which are free speech and the right to keep and bear arms. NBC Action News reporter Sloane Heller confirmed late Thursday morning the billboard is owned by William...

The gay and lesbian community is calling for an investigation into a billboard that was destroyed. The billboard is just one of 5 put up for National Coming Out Day and features a gay Marine. The billboards were paid for by the Memphis Gay and Lesbian Community Center. "We had the idea to celebrate National Coming Out Day which is October 11th. It's a time that around the nation people say I'm proud to be gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender," said Heidi Williams, Memphis Gay and Lesbian Community Center. The MGLCC wanted to get Memphis' attention but they didn't expect...

Yesterday, for the first time I saw a billboard very similar to the one pictured here: It leads to the linked website. Apparently, this is a nationwide campaign to place advertisements to recruit for "islam," aka mohammedanism. Not only did the sight of it chill me to the bone, I notice the timing is close to 9/11 and Rosh Hashanah. The one I saw in L.A. is adjacent to the largest Black area and very near the most orthodox Jewish neighborhood.

Americans make homemade 'Where's the birth certificate?' signs WASHINGTON – Americans are picking up on the "Where's the birth certificate?" billboard campaign by creating their own homemade versions of the signs and displaying them on highways, byways and on their own properties. As the latest WND-sponsored billboard went up in front of Las Vegas' Mandalay Bay Hotel, others are pitching in to demand proof of Barack Obama's eligibility for office with some bootleg versions of the message – often in slightly less prominent venues.

Since it will be a few months before Michael Vick takes the field, PETA has decided to target someone else in preparation - fat people. A new ad campaign, which recently launched in Jacksonville, takes aim at overweight people in about as direct a way as you can. A huge billboard in the city reads, "Save the Whales. Lose The Blubber. Go Vegetarian." Next to the words is a pretty large woman, who looks to be about a biscuit away from becoming a whale dressed in a polka-dot bikini. Now, that's a low blow. "Our goal is help overweight...

Rare Lowchen has been missing for four months Janis and Bob McCormick are not giving up a four month effort to find their beloved dog named Zak. Zak hasn't been seen since April 15. That's when the McCormick's say someone took the small white dog out of the front yard of their Saratoga home.

I took this picture today on Interstate 5 heading south through LA County. I think it's close to the city of Commerce but I wasn't paying that much attention to the location.

The controversial message was pulled down over the weekend by the billboard's owner, SignAd, in response to intense media coverage and criticism from activists such as Quanell X, according to the leader of the conservative grassroots group that sponsored the billboard.

HOUSTON - Loud voices, finger pointing, and name calling erupted under a billboard bearing the image of a man who dreamed of peace Friday. The billboard and its claim that Martin Luther King Jr. was a republican is the brainchild of Apostle Claver Kamau-Imani, founder of Houston-based RagingElephants.org , a grass roots group hoping to appeal to minorities. "We're going to make a very earnest serious aggressive attempt to lure them to the conservative voting base," Kamau-Imani said. But not everyone agrees. "Dr. King may have supported some of the principles-- anti-abortion, same-sex marriage--I understand that,” community activist Quanell X...

Forever it seems. Forever we've listened to Michael Jackson tripe. It's trite and it's incredibly stupid...in the sense of "stupor inducing." It ignores face bleaching, nose trimming, pedophilia, and lying about fathering children. We're told: "Greatest this and greatest that." I just read that some representative in our US Congress stated that Jackson "changed the world." If so, how come not one of his own songs is in Billboard's top 50 of all time? How come it takes us all the way to #71 before one of MJ's pops up? Chubby Checkers is #1, Dianah Ross is in there. Lionel...

The billboard features a young, half-naked girl, involved in a threesome with a potential fourth 'player' lying on the floor. When asked about the message behind the ad, Calvin Klein spokesman said its "intention was to create a very sexy campaign that speaks to our targeted demographic."

WASHINGTON – A fourth billboard company has rejected a campaign designed to raise visibility on questions surrounding Barack Obama's eligibility for office – this time by claiming the Outdoor Advertising Association of America, a trade and lobbying group that claims to promote freedom of speech, actually discouraged acceptance. The OAAA, headed by President and Chief Executive Officer Nancy Fletcher, a Hillary Clinton financial contributor in 2008, reportedly advised some members not to accept ads from WND that asked, "Where's the birth certificate?" Fletcher, who refused to respond to WND inquiries about the action of the OAAA, points out on the...

A steamy Calvin Klein billboard that seems to show a teenage girl in a threesome - with suggestions of a foursome - is raising eyebrows and ire. Passersby can't miss the massive, sexually charged ad on a building at Lafayette and Houston Sts. in SoHo, and they can't believe their eyes. "It's borderline pornographic," said neighborhood resident Lisa Marchese, 36, a marketing specialist who was disturbed by the youthfulness of the models. "They all look so young, particularly the girl. And to portray them in a threesome - it's just taking it too far." The ad depicts a topless young...

Lamar Outdoor, one of the largest providers of billboard space in America, has become the second major company to reject an advertising campaignraising questions about Barack Obama's constitutional eligibility for office. Lamar joins CBS, the No. 1 outdoor advertising company, in prohibiting its salesmen nationwide from accepting leases of billboards for a campaign that asks the simple question, "Where's the birth certificate?" "We're just not going to accept that copy," Lamar spokesman Hal Kirshaw told WND. "We think it's a settled matter. We think it's misleading to indicate there's any question about the president's birth certificate. We looked at...

On April 21, Cindy Sheehan -- known for camping outside President Bush's ranch in 2005 to protest her son's military death in Iraq -- joined representatives from the Coalition to Stop $30 Billion to Israel. Sheehan and representatives of the 12 organizations that make up the Coalition dedicated 10 billboards in Albuquerque, New Mexico, which call for ending American military aid to Israel. The billboard message, "Tell Congress: Stop Killing Children, No More Military Aid to Israel," refers to a U.S. pledge to aid Israel over a ten-year period. The billboard features a picture of an Israeli tank juxtaposed with...

Anti-God Ads Hit Dallas by Christine Dao* In the heart of the Bible belt, billboards stating “Don’t believe in God? You are not alone” have been posted in parts of Dallas, home of the Institute for Creation Research. The boards are sponsored by the Dallas-Fort Worth Coalition of Reason (DFWCoR), an atheist nonprofit group which joins together smaller local anti-theistic organizations to “increase the growth, visibility and acceptance of nontheists throughout the Metroplex.”[1] Two ads have been posted in the D/FW area, one just a few miles from ICR headquarters, and will remain up through April. According to Fred Edwords...

A picture of Adolf Hitler was displayed on a huge billboard in Sofia and immediately prompted the Israeli Embassy to protest to Bulgarian authorities. The picture of the Nazi leader shown on an advertisement billboard caused outrage in Sofia, the Bulgarian SNA news agency said Tuesday. An unidentified company put up the advertisement showing a Third Reich stamp with the portrait of Hitler and a slogan "They Speak -- You Listen." The agency offered no further details concerning the incident.

Is Michael Steele advising the DNC on the side? Because whoever is still pushing the Rush Limbaugh line over at the Democratic National Committee doesn’t get it. The whole Limbaugh gimmick went stale weeks ago when the DNC announced the remarkably uncreative slogan for a billboard meant to razz the talk show host. While it lasted Sure, the “Rush is the de facto leader of the Republican party” circus was effective for awhile. Effective in a double-edged sword kinda way. On the one hand, Rahm’s strategy completely frazzled the GOP rendering the party ridiculous for what seemed like an eternity....

WEST PALM BEACH, FL (WFLX) - It's a national war of words, and the battleground is West Palm Beach. In one corner: conservative talk show host and Palm Beach resident Rush Limbaugh. Limbaugh infuriated Democrats with his comments earlier this month that he hoped that President Barack Obama fails. Democrats, in response, declared a PR war. They decided to buy space on a billboard in West Palm Beach to "send Rush a message". The Democratic National Party solicited ideas for a billboard message to Limbaugh on their website. More than 80,000 slogans were submitted as part of a contest. Nearly...

The Democratic Party billboard winner to Help Send Rush the Message.

The Democrats have been running a fund-raising drive in the guise of a contest to suggest a slogan for a billboard that will be placed in Rush Limbaugh’s hometown [Cape Girardeau or Palm Beach?]. Via an email I just received [yes, I'm a proud member of the DNC list], the Dems have now announced the winning slogan, submitted by William C. of Camden, New Jersey. As you’ll see, it reads: “Americans Didn’t Vote For A Rush To Failure.” Rush is taking a couple days off, but when he returns to the golden EIB microphone on Monday, I’m predicting he will...

Setting a world record today for beating a dead horse, the Democratic National Committee will announce they’ve selected an anti-Rush Limbaugh slogan to be placed on a billboard in the radio host’s hometown. The DNC began soliciting slogans a week ago in response to Limbaugh’s well-known statement that he wants President Obama to fail. “If you’re anything like me, then you’ve had the urge to talk back to a right-wing talk radio host more than a few times.

I would like to submit, " We love pork" or "Good jobs for tax cheats available." What would you like to suggest? The actual contest form is located here.

OLYMPIA -- An anti-religion billboard in the Washington state Capitol has started a firestorm on national television. Fox News' Bill O'Reilly had an eight-minute segment on his show Tuesday night decrying the inclusion of the atheistic billboard along with a holiday tree and a Christian nativity scene. Conservative TV personality O'Reilly called the display "political correctness gone mad" and urged viewers to call Gov. Chris Gregoire's office to complain. Gregoire spokesman Pearse Edwards says the office has been getting about 200 calls an hour, as well as e-mails. The Capitol has had a holiday tree, provided by the Association of...

Shariah, or Islamic law, may be spreading around the world, but it isn't going to be established in the United States without opposition, vow members of the United American Committee. Officials with the non-profit have erected a 48-foot-long billboard just outside of Detroit, home to one of the largest groups of Muslims in the U.S. "SHARIA LAW THREATENS AMERICA," warns the sign. The UAC says it's "dedicated to awakening the nation to the threats of radical Islam" and works to "educate Americans on the nature of Islamic extremism." The group's mission is to battle against "the ideological aspects of the...

A billboard in Rancho Cucamonga asking viewers to "imagine no religion" was taken down this week after residents and the city complained about its message. The Freedom From Religion Foundation advertisement was first installed last week causing local conversation and complaints. The pressure quickly built up and the General Outdoor sign company took it down. The foundation's co-president Annie Laurie Gaylor was not so happy, as expressed in a statement they sent out: "Are religionists so thin-skinned they must squelch free debate? One small freethought billboard in the immense state of California is such a threat to insecure religious egos...

Rancho Cucamonga, CA (AP) -- Atheists and agnostics now have a San Bernardino County billboard embracing Godlessness.

Earlier Tuesday, a group of about 50 anti-abortion activists unfurled a huge sign on a mesa west of Denver equating the Democratic National Convention with abortion, but later removed it at the request of authorities. About 50 people hiked up the mesa Tuesday to post the sign, but the heat and the exertion took their toll. Deputies sent to the scene allowed those in distress to get food and water, Jefferson County sheriff's spokeswoman Andrea Burns said. Some of the protesters agreed to hike back up and take down the sign, made of more than 2,000 queen-size sheets sewn together...
