Isn’t the stained glass theme a little sacralicious? Mmmmm.

Anyway, the bus ads match the billboards. Let’s hear from the FFRF:

“Without religion, Prop 8 would not have passed. It is a fact that organized religion was responsible for revoking marriage equality in California. Proposition 8 was conceived by the megachurches and church leaders, bankrolled by donors from denominations such as the Mormons and religious-right groups, and vociferously promoted from the pulpits of Roman Catholic, fundamentalist Protestant and Mormon churches,” added Gaylor.

O.K. then.

Baffling Life-Size Tin Soldier Guarding Giant Pepsi Ad in San Francisco

Wednesday, March 4th, 2009

So fine, Pepsi has their new logos out, but what’s up with this rooftop exclamation point dressed in uniform. Is this a real person? Doesn’t look that way, but you can never be sure.

Keep an eye out for it when you’re on the Embarcadero near Mission looking south.

Well this is the scene you’ll see in San Francisco – official banners celebrating and promoting the Lower Haight area, courtesy of the Upper Playground and and the Lower Haight Merchant’s Association.

San Francisco Loves Again: F*CK MORMONS Banner Removed

Tuesday, November 11th, 2008

Things were a little hateful around the area of 606 Sanchez Street in San Francisco a few days back when people could see a large, fuchsia “F*CK MORMONS” banner from all around. While some caution against starting a holy war, others aren’t as circumspect.

The whole affair is still the talk of the town.

But lo, the offending message got taken down lickedy-split post-haste, even on a quasi holiday. Here’s the same scene from this afternoon: 

See? The houseboat house is now message-free. Credit for getting the sign down might go to Michael Thomas, a blogfather who seems to have a lot of pull in the area.

[UPDATE: Joe Vazquez burns the shoe leather and basically confirms the above here, but he also garners a flurry of quotes from the engineer in question.]

On to new bidness, the next big rally. They’re calling it the Million Gay March, or something. It should be under sunny skies, regardless.
