The week before Easter Sunday, a billboard appeared in Orange County, Florida bearing a happy fairy and the slogan "All Religions are Fairy Tales". This upset some people, and it's even been blamed for killing business at a seafood restaurant that sits underneath it. Obviously Floridians haven't discovered that atheism goes beautifully with a shrimp cocktail. The company that owns the billboard says the offending image was put up illegally, and it has since been removed. Local business owner Rich Stormes doesn't buy that explanation, however. "They should have known what was going up on the billboard," Stormes said. "He should proof it." I don't see any grammatical mistakes on it, but I do have to take issue with its general point. Not all religions are fairy tales. Some are more like science-fiction. More details here.
