LOOK HOW LONG MY
ARMS ARE
Not just anyone can buy a billboard to make fun of a realtor that won't stop buying annoying billboards.
Oh no wait yes they can.
Peaked #3 All-time on the Minneapolis Subreddit, amassed 20k likes on Instagram, inspired a beer and a hate website. Got $1500 donated to charity. And unfortunately, got one guy fired.
