This billboard is too realistic

BRIDGEPORT, Conn. (AP) - January 18, 2010

That's what 911 dispatchers are telling worried callers in Bridgeport, Conn.

State police are getting many calls about a life-sized mannequin and teddy bear that sit atop a billboard above I-95.

It's an ad for a local BMW dealer's offer of an overnight test drive.

That mannequin is wearing pajamas.

Officials at the dealership say their unconventional billboard has proven very effective.
