Anti-cheese billboard update – cheesehead scythed from picture
You know all about this already, since I blogged about it Monday. Well:
A controversial anti-cheese billboard went up Tuesday near Green Bay, but the Cheesehead hat was missing.
The group that paid $3,500 to install the sign along Highway 41 had planned on a scythe-wielding grim reaper to wear a Cheesehead in the ad that reads, “Warning: Cheese Can Sack Your Health. Fat. Cholesterol. Sodium.”
Here’s the billboard the way it was originally planned:
But:
But after the St. Francis company that makes the ubiquitous Cheesehead apparel, Foamation Inc., threatened a lawsuit, the golden triangular topper was blacked out and the grim reaper now appears hatless on the billboard.
So lemme see if I got this straight: they took the cheesehead off the billboard telling Wisconsinites that they shouldn’t eat cheese…because it might be too offensive?
Who the hell ate my cream puff?
