The Blietzkrieg on Grinchitude - Atheist Billboard & Capitol Christmas Tree Edition

Posted on 06:08 by Unknown
So there is this silly battle of billboards between atheists and the religious. One group puts up a sign, the other group gets outraged about it and puts up one of its own... lather, rinse, repeat... it's the most boring and pointless ping-pong game I've ever seen.

Luckily, Stephen Colbert reports in the following clip that the Lincoln Tunnel Authority has won the battle with a sign everyone will agree with :)

Also (and this is the best part), it seems the Capitol Hill Christmas tree has become the latest Twiter sensation. Just don't look at its past tweets...
