Man and Bear on billboard spurs 911 calls

A billboard on Interstate 95 in Bridgeport, Connecticut has a life-sized mannequin and teddy bear sitting on top.



The attraction is prompting emergency calls from alarmed motorists. The drivers are concerned the figures are real and about to fall off the sign.

The billboard is an advertisement for BMW of Bridgeport's overnight test drive offer. The mannequin, who is wearing pajamas, was lifted to the top of the billboard with the teddy bear about two months ago.

The dealership says there has been very little negative feedback about the billboard, and the sign has gotten them a lot of overnight Beamer test drive as a result of the sign.
