A user at reddit.com promised that he’d put up a billboard in response to Harold Camping’s failed billboard campaign that claimed the rapture was on its way. The billboard reads: “That was awkward”. Somewhat of an understatement I think.

The billboard came into being as a result of a discussion following a post by user xtcg123 entitled: “Thinking of renting a billboard on May 22. Thoughts?”. The thread received over 1508 comments with suggestions about the billboard.
