I find it interesting how the “shadow man” is turning his head away from the homeless man. In every other picture it suggests that there is an invisible force that controls our every move, suggesting a god-like character that plans out our destiny. So why would they ignore the needy?

I like how this all turned into religious bullshit. So I have to say one thing. Actually a few things. I would like to get this off my chest.

You’re all nuts. You have to consider the images in their context: it’s an advertisement for a newspaper with the slogan “just the facts.” The point is that the newspaper won’t be trying to push an agenda of its own in conveyance of the news. That said, I think it’s pretty gutsy to allude to so many controversial issues in an ad campaign (the implication that a newspaper encourages violent protests is pretty wild–though not unrealistic). But you have to consider where the ads were going to show up–probably in NewYork.

only live this one day, tomorrow is a lie. i would much rather live as though tomorrow will never come, as opposed to living to die and go on and live the afterlife. and why the religious waste their lives one sunday at a time, i may never know. But I do know that’s not for me…

I sorta got the idea that the black shadow things were telling the people what to do. And the ad was encouraging people to think for themselves instead of letting others think for them. Anyone else get that??

“At least us atheists won’t be shitting our selfs with fear on our deathbed wondering if god will send us to the pits of hell or not.”

No… but the more intelligent atheists will be “shitting [themselves] with fear on [their] deathbed[s]” because it’s really all over for them, huh? I mean, no afterlife… Personally, I find that just as frightening as hell–though I don’t want to sound like my religion is based on fear.
It isn’t, though I can’t say the same for many others.

Matt – You had me until the last line mate, I agree with the rest of what you said but I doubt everyone online is fat, although I certainly am.

There is irony in the fact that people commenting on this page are obviously trying to be that man dressed in black, telling everyone what is ‘right’.

Think for yourself… and allow others to think for themselves, regardless of your faith or lack thereof.

As for the advertisements, I found they were very clever and quite thought provoking.

You guys are all lame. The ads are about thinking for yourself instead of following the herd and letting others or apathy think for you, and you internet surfing know it alls have found a way to preach your beliefs or lack there of. Its fun watching any string of comments go down the drain when somebody mentions religion or race (ohh! Me saying what I believe in or telling so and so whats wrong with their way of thinking will really gain me some respect or divert somebody’s way of thinking!)
Have fun being fat, losers.
