A mannequin hanging from a Las Vegas billboard emblazoned with “Dying For Work” had motorists lighting up 911 switchboards (http://www.google.com/hostednews/ap/article/ALeqM5j3HMM88JjfHOV08zCGFBY9_0Kh7w?docId=9b24bcd57 8ff4dfbb55f0077f72c6bf7) at the crack of dawn this morning — drivers were convinced they were seeing a real person swinging from the rope.
Another billboard (http://occupylasvegas.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/313032_4396348266622_250563216_n.jpg) in the Las Vegas area read ”Hope You’re Happy Wall St.,” with a second mannequin hanging from the edge.
No one has claimed responsibility for the creepy hangmen, though the website for Occupy Las Vegas (http://occupylasvegas.org/2012/08/08) applauds the displays, and accuses Nevada lawmakers of slashing social aid programs in the down economy.
“People saying it’s in bad taste are living sheltered lives,” says Sebring Frehner, an Occupy supporter. They ”don’t pay attention to what affects the working class.”

That's pretty creepy but it's certainly one way to get somebody's attention.

I can just imagine all the people on their regular morning commute and then thinking they just saw somebody hanged above the highway.
