(AP) LAS VEGAS - Even by Las Vegas standards, it was a shocking billboard: A mannequin dangling on a hangman's noose below a black sign with the ominous words "Dying for Work."

Nevada Highway Patrol Trooper Jeremie Elliott says the 911 calls started coming in as the sun came up early Wednesday, with drivers worried the stiff, black-suited dummy swaying at the end of a rope along Interstate 15 near Bonanza Road was a real person.

I saw several news stories about that today. I think it's a bit extreme that the cops want to press vandalism charges against whoever did it.
Clever advertising. A wake up call to those ruining the country, taking away jobs. Outsourcing everything. They probably don't give a fig though. (wall st)

It would be nice if the billboard included "33 votes to repeal health care. 0 votes on the jobs bill."

That needs to be HAMMERED into the electorate. Congress isn't voting on any job bills. WHY?!?!?!!?!?!?!?!?

Probably because they are outsourcing even more. They should outsource themselves.
