The billboard was first reported by Minnesota Public Radio blogger Bob Collins Monday morning.
He took a photo of it while cruising past, about 30 miles north of downtown Minneapolis.
Collins wrote: “It’s beginning to sweep along the Internet, accompanied by various claims that it’s a Photoshop fake. But it’s not. It’s real…“It’s time to crowdsource this puppy.”
