MEDIA ADVISORY - FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

“Probably No God” Bus Ads Resurrected on Kelowna Transit
Atheist ad campaign nearing conclusion after original ads disappeared

KELOWNA, BC--(July 20, 2011) – After more than two months, the “Probably No God” bus ads have been reinstated on BC Transit buses in Kelowna. The Atheist Bus Campaign will finally be complete on Friday, July 22, 2011. 

“The atheist bus campaign has been a long uphill battle,” said Loren Price of the Centre for Inquiry (CFI) Okanagan. “BC Transit first denied our right to run the ads, then threatened to pull the ads at the first sign of trouble, and finally appeared uninterested in fully investigating the disappearance of the original ads from their own property.”  

Between a two week period in April and another in July 2011, the ads will have had a full month of exposure. 

CFI has now launched its follow up Extraordinary Claims Campaign, to place the message: “Extraordinary Claims Require Extraordinary Evidence: Allah Bigfoot UFOs Homeopathy Zeus Psychics Christ” on buses across Canada.
