Awesome work
Damn expensive to produce a poster that size though. So either it was a viral ad or these were some rich pranksters.

When the people popped up I had horrible thoughts of everyone adopting this creepy style for their sites.
I PRAY this does not become a trend.
Or were you talking about the billboard?

Hmm... the man did have the uncanny ability to turn water into wine. Or funk. Depending on the situation. He was a one man party.

I love that I live in a country where people get upset about something like this... but don't kill over it.
I'm down with people loving god and all... but it is a little funny.

If he can turn water into wine, maybe he can turn Bud into beer?

The billboard is referencing a story surrounding Jesus' execution. As it's written, Pontius Pilate included a sign which said what translates to "Jesus the Nazarene, King of the Jews." Matthew 27:37, Mark 15:26, and Luke 23:38 all mention the sign, but John 19:19-22 elaborates on it further. According to John, the Jews took offense at the sign (as might be expected) and asked Pilate to change it to say that Jesus claimed to be the king of the Jews. However, Pilate refused to change it.
If you've ever wondered what the "INRI" is that you see in a lot of religious artwork depicting the crucifixion, this is it. "INRI" is the Latin abbreviation for what Pilate is said to have written on the sign.

Hated the popover ad!!!!! But when I read the title of this thread, I thought "Someone came up with one incredibly good oath." Seriously, isn't "Jesus on a bilboard" a lot better than some oaths you've heard, like "Christ on a crutch?"

Budweiser is the "King of Beers"…just like McDonalds is the "King of Restaurants"

Being in debt and celebrating a lower deficit is like being on a diet and celebrating the fact you gained two pounds this week instead of five.

Can you imagine some dude in sandals walking into a party and turning the beer into water?! No wonder Jesus got himself crucified.

That was neither logically sound, nor necessary.

I think it'd be cool to sit around a table in a dark room with some soft electronica playing, smoking some hookah and sharing deep truths.

It's been up for over a week? I guess nobody was really offended by it.
Quite hilarious and original. I love harmless pranks.

It would open doors that you'd never thought possible, I sh!t you not.
Edit: I'll put it this way, I've never met an atheist who has tried shrooms more than once.

I've met several.
But I'm agnostic, and have done them a handful of times.
As the end of the article states 'people say they "can't possibly put it into words." Very true.

Well most legal drugs are about 100 times worse for you than shrooms. In fact, besides the risk of mental illness (if you have a history in your family) Psylocibin is among one of the safest drugs you can do.

Hrm. I've never heard of that before, but I will do some searching on it asap.
The biggest danger with 'shrooms is purity. Since it is an illegal substance there is really no standard mushroom, some are far far more potent than others, and some (if grown incorrectly) can be very poisonous.
However, from what I've read, Pyslocibin (apart from triggering schiz.) is among one of the most benign drugs (from an addiction and toxicity standpoint)

It shows Jesus holding a Budweiser in between the phrases "Jesus, King of Jews" and "Jesus, King of Beers."
It does not!

Are you sure? I know certain toxic species of mushrooms basically attack your liver and kidney, but I didn't think any of the entheogenic species people would consume would be toxic.

So I've been told at least. I've got a couple of friends that are science majors that tell me not to drink so much alcohol while on shrooms cause it's putting my liver into triple time.

Psylocibin basically is a mild form of food poisoning. So I'd imagine your liver would have to eventually filter it out, but I'm pretty sure it's not much worse than the other chemicals the liver has to deal with.
