I posted the coinstar thread before. Our next assignment is to do an ad campaign for the bible, I thought it would make an interesting thread.

agreed rasko. I am not very religious and when we got the assignment I was none to pleased. I said pretty much the same thing.

I thought it might be funny just to do one of those cheesy book review ads with different qoutes from critics.
for instance.
"God really scores with this tour de force triumph"you get the idea.

get rid of that whole fundamental coat believing has today.
i dunno much about the us, but i've heard going to church and taking every word serious without putting it into a context is common.

i think the bible has really had enough advertising, i think what;s needed now is perhaps a change in our perception of it. maybe just sex it up a bit, stick jo guest on the cover and rename it Zoo or something, sorry i'm just blue skying here guys, work with me. maybe we could do some product placement in hip and happening films like brown bunny - in one hand she's got gallo's cock and the other she's got har hands round ol' preachy prose, eh? eh?

coolest part about the bible is that it's thick enough to cut a square out the pages so it fits my dope stash. now that's an unique selling proposition you can use!

get the thing rewritten in pencil by marion deuchars, and get some rockin' illustrations in there, god could appear now and again up in the top corners as a cluster of coloured vector circles, the disciples could be skaters...
