Thanks to your generous donations, we’re able to move forward on our ridiculously adorable billboard!
This is our current frontrunner design – but we’re looking for your suggestions and criticisms. By all means, have at it!
If we’re able to afford a second billboard, we’ll be using the next most popular image:
Hey there awesome Skeptonites! We’ve been examining our finances, and need your help! With one week to go, we still need to raise about $10,000 between now and August 11th, when the last SK11 attendee Read more…
Hi Skepticonville! We’re two months away from Skepticon 11! It’s time to reveal the thank-you gifts that we have for our most generous donors, our bestest best friends. Okay, maybe you’re thinking that we’ve never Read more…
Well, Skepticon fanaroos, here we are, two years into our legal fight with Richard Carrier, and we're still standing strong for what we believe. But it's costing us dearly to keep going. So, we're throwing a fundraiser! And you can choose an amazing and dino-filled, hand-made thank-you gift for your donation. That's right, each of the fabulous creations on this page were made one at a time by a human Skepticon organizer (okay, except the postcards).

Those aren’t kittens. Actually, that looks like one fully grown cat in three holes photoshopped side by side. It would be great if the photo could be redone with kittens though; I like the idea, just not the execution.

The photo was chosen by popular vote. If you’d like to see the second photo (which received the second greatest number of votes) on a similar billboard, please consider making a donation.
On another note, I have absolutely no idea how old the kitty is – could be a 10-month kitten, could be an 18-month cat. I suppose we could change the line to “Kitties are cute,” but I’m not sure how important that really is.

The point of my post was that the image didn’t obviously match the text. I’m not arguing for the image to be changed to one of the others. The reason I suggested remaking the image was that the original concept was baby animals. Since that is out of the question, please change the text to “Kitties are cute.”

It’s only important in the sense that we don’t want backlash saying how atheists must be stupid if they don’t know the difference between a kitten and a cat. The billboard is about displaying minimal controversy, so “kitties” would be better … and, I argue, an even cuter word.

Looks great! I wouldn’t change a thing.

Funny — it’s so hard to come up with something *indisputably* innocuous! I suppose even kitties aren’t foolproof. Maybe we’ll get attacked by the “Kitties are Satan Crusade” or “Jihad against the Great Evil Kitties.” (In any case, as a donor, I love this project and anything the group comes up with will be fine with me. Full steam ahead.)

That white kitten does not belong. I suggest a baby panda. Or just any baby bear.
