There’s been a lot of spoof/satire images poked at the Heartland Billboard. For example these being run by Michael Tobis, who desperately needs traffic: http://planet3.org/2012/05/04/the-correct-response-to-heartlands-disgusting-billboards/
…here’s the kind of billboard I would have run.
I welcome reader submissions, just post them to an image drop like tinypic or imageshack and leave the URL in comments, and I’ll add appropriate candidates to the main thread. Be careful of the site rules, and don’t assume I’ll carry every one.
Think like Josh and keep it clean and on-topic.
For those who have no idea what this means, read this.
h/t to WUWT reader TerryMN for the idea.
UPDATE 1: Steve McIntyre offers his submission in comments, not quite a billboard, but we’ll take it for sheer hilarity value.

Laugh !
Here’s a good one: http://t.co/brUdknIm 🙂
This is pure genius. Not only it made me laugh a lot, but people who don’t know anything about it could be actually curious what’s it all about and visit the page to learn about it. I guess such a campaign could be a real success.
THATSA KEEPERS! Ha ha ha ha
You mean “If I *were* … “?
REPLY: Fixed, thanks. My excuse is that I was laughing so hard when I wrote the post…Anthony
This is good! Skeptics make fun of themselves. Warmists: were there any warmist parodies of the 10:10 No Pressure campaign?
Perhaps that is evidence of truth-telling, the ability to question yourself. The more you are fixed in your position, the more you suspect that the position is less defensible that you’d like.
It’s been a rough day but I still get Rednajlit. Sigh.
tobis may Continue to be desperate for traffic.
McIntyre, that was hilarious !!

That’s really clever, but I fear it would cause traffic accidents as drivers tried to figure it out. Better buy as space on a subway!
Just got it! Long day. Hahaha. I’m so stupid.
How to incorporate Steve’s chimp chaos (CareerBuilder ad) with upside-down Tiljander??
One with Briffa hugging a tree with the title YAMAL would also work.
Here’s my try

[REPLY: Kimmie, girls aren’t supposed to be so wicked. I like it. -REP]
[snip – I’m sorry, wrong use of symbols, this would be used in the same way against us as the original. I appreciate the effort though – Anthony]
Now if only there was a way to get Steve McIntyre offer onto a billboard following your suggestion for a billboard. (link to a Heartland site maybe?)
I would have had Tiljander right side up and Mann’s head upside down.
Heh – love it.
Kimmie you are a girl after my own heart. That billboard should run first, then TerryMN/Anthony’s second with a link to a short vid similar to Steve’s at the heartland site coupled with a short explanation of the meaning of the upside down chart, Tiljander and the connection to Mann.

Ouch! Ow! Ooch! Eech! Yeowch!
That’s gonna leave a mark.
“How to incorporate Steve’s chimp chaos (CareerBuilder ad) with upside-down Tiljander??”
How about a graphic of a post-1900 temperature chart line with one monkey jumping up and down one the line in the 1st 50 or so years, and a chimp under the line in the recent decades pushing it up. One might call it “Chimp Adjustments.” Anyone welcome to use this idea without need to give credit. In lieu of chimps one could use “scientists” in white lab jackets, polar bears, anything.
well… they say we are all zombies…
