Current Mood: doin' it for the lulz
Current Music: Peter Gabriel - Down to Earth
Does it hurt my atheist street cred if "Jesus Christ Superstar" is the only Andrew Lloyd Webber musical I actually like?
From this New York Times column:
"If you really want to see a strange line of attack, take a look at the wolf ad. It cuts from Palin’s face to Obama’s to packs of wolves prowling through the forest, presumably in search of vice-presidential prey. Then comes the text claiming that as Barack drops in the polls,“he’ll try to destroy her.” Given Palin’s affection for shooting wolves from airplanes with high-powered rifles, it’d be more appropriate to have them cowering in their dens while she aims her machine gun from a diving Cessna."
Sarah Palin is John McCain's pick for the Vice President of the United States. Now, you can help him vet her for the job!

Is this callous? Maybe. Insensitive? You betcha. Do I care? Not as such.
..and that's all I really have to say on the subject.
Hokay, so. There's this new campaign getting off the ground, trying to get atheists a bit more visibility. Playing off the whole "scarlet letter" thing, you know. Personally, I like the design; it's simple, bright and clean, perfect for branding (ha). The design inspired me to add a bit of a socialist touch to the background, just to clarify where I stand in all this:
Obvious differences from the Out Campaign logo being the font (I'm not shelling out a hundred bucks for the right font family) and the color (not as bright, but it matches the rose). All in all, not bad for a twenty-minute effort.
