Italian City Bus Will Carry Toned-Down Atheist Ad

After earlier this month rejecting an advertising campaign that an atheist group wished to run on Genoa, Italy buses (see prior posting), an advertising agency has now approved a toned-down display. ANSA reported yesterday that the new ad will read: "The Good News Is There Are Millions of Atheists In Italy; The Excellent News Is They Believe In Freedom Of Expression." The ad will be carried on the outside of one Genoa bus for about two weeks in February. [Thanks to Scott Mange for the lead.]
