For my college English class i need to find an a print ad that i do not personally identify with(obviously a religious one would be one i don't identify with and pretty easy to do) so i was just wondering if anyone knows of any good ones or seen any lately. I have been looking and found some good ones but no really great ones. Would appreciate any suggestions if you know of any Thanks!

ad refers to people needing to realize they are second to god.

or you could find on of those bloody jesus on a cross "his blood cleansed me" creepy ads.

This one is older, I don't know if it will work for what you need but it's certainly disturbing enough to have burned itself into my memory.  :)

It's on the Answers in Genesis website and PZ Myers blogged about it as well as a bunch of other people.  I never heard anyone saying it was fake, but I could be wrong.  Here's the link to the commercial on the AiG (shudder) website:

haha!!! what a true piece of work. "if you dont matter to god, you dont matter to anyone." i didnt get it though. is the kid shooting me because i dont matter to god? or is the kid a lost, souless, crazy atheist and shooting me... although i might matter to god? or if god doesnt care about you, you become violent?
poorly thought out scare tactics make me smile though.  :hmm:

It's real.  I passed it (or one exactly like it) on I-35 driving through Oklahoma.

Ok, there was another billboard 'photo' floating around the web that had the same image but different text which was a fake; it said something equally over the top.

Does a billboard count as a print ad? I thought they had to be in a magazine or newspaper or similar. On the AIG theme, I found this.



Not sure if it counts either lol

I figured it did because it is printed.
