Hello Everybody,

For those of you familiar with the popular online community reddit, you
will be very pleased to notice your poster has reached the number 2 spot
on the websites front page. I may be overly subjective but this is big
news in FUC publicity. It would be wise to capitalize on this.

I would like to commend the creator of the poster, for successfully
spread word of this club and its beliefs. Bravo!

Sincerely,


William Enns-Bray

Well, shit.

As the club's occasional president, sometime graphic designer, and
frequent scapegoat, I'd love to take full credit for the thing. Alas,
it was a group effort; the template was my doing, the slogan comes
courtesy a past president (who himself got it off a page of atheist
quotes), and the entire group approved it via a vote. So I guess
everyone can take a bow?

For the benefit of anyone who's wandered on to our list from
Reddit, here's a quick collection of our previous threads about
posters, most of which include images. Since almost all our slogans
consist of quotes (and our design takes five minutes to dupe in
Photoshop :P ) I don't give a hoot what you do with them:

Hmm, capitalize on this, you say? Well, our banner above this group
contains links to our podcast, Twitter account, Facebook group, and T-
shirt store. For the latter, I'll fire up my l33t design skills and
get a few of our slogans on T-shirts tonight. Also, if you have any
requests for what you'd like on a T (or sweater, or underwear), drop
me a line!

I think it's high-time I signed up for a Reddit account, too. And I
get the feeling Hemant Mehta may have something to say about this...

Awesomesauce. To drag out an old one. Really cool commence collective
bragging rights!

Well, shit.

Wow. Impressive.

One of the reddit user, MaeveningErnsmau posted this little thing for us.  http://i.imgur.com/DBd99.jpg  We clearly can't use that for promotional material but it is somewhat amusing.

I dunno, the Bible comes pretty close to confirming it! In Matthew
21:1-11, Jesus asks his followers to jack a donkey and colt, pimps it
out with a few coats, then rides into town with an entourage singing
his praises. You had to make do with what you had, before they
invented spinner hubcaps...

Oh, and by the way: we're slowly working on Patheos as well!
