Our new Atheists of Florida billboards are now up at 5 locations in Lakeland, Florida, as of 6/22.

This is a photo of our billboard on Combee road near Crystal Lake (labeled #1 on map below) ...

I still miss the one on Fowler.
Doubt I will make it out to Lakeland to see the new ones, but its nice to see they are there. I think this one sticks out a little more than the last one.

Very nice signs - an unoffending and unifying message.

[TampaMike]

lol, a billboard with nothing but AoF would be offending to some of those people in lakeland. pity.

Any media coverage yet?

Sadly, we weren't the only ones to get this idea.

No, not sad! It's an awesome thing! Let's hope this goes viral! This message and this billboard needs to get out across the country coast to coast! I would gladly share the design with anyone that wants it!

I spoke to one of the NC Secular Org members earlier and he was also thrilled about our campaign.

They are having a planning meeting tonight and are going to announce something big so we will keep our ears to the ground!

Tonight on Fox13 at 10pm

[JoseyWales]

Some pasty inbred Fox13 News anchor announces: "Several new billboards have cropped up in a Bay Area community and some people are not happy at the message behind them." Let's not suggest that some folks [like me] are happy with the billboard's message.

In fact the "some people" in the news piece seemed to include one irate citizen and three irate Fox13 News personalities, interjecting their editorial observations on the billboard's message and it's deeper and possibly more sinister purpose.

Sorry guys yours has been vandalized. Hope you won't have to pay for the new one. And make sure there is lots of publicity on this.
