me too...
Hadn't intended on getting involved in a conversation about it, just wanted to raise the level of awareness that a. it was going on and b. that there exists a formal channel to express disapproval, should people feel it.
Aside from that I just get sick of apathy (although I agree that it would be nice if we could all get on with our lives and pretend that people weren't being killed outside abortion clinics/in hotels in Mumbai/on buses in London/etc ad nauseum).
But the reason I posted originally was that these cunts were complaining through official, legal channels that Dawkins (and by extension a lot of B3tans) had no right to say there "probably isn't a god" yet the ASA states that they are within their rights to claim that there "definitely is one".
This is not about the fundies or the atheists, nor indeed about what anyone does or does not believe, this is about the ASA discharging their duties as arbiters of public standards in advertising, which they are clearly not upholding and which, through raising awareness of the complaints procedure, we can change.
