Controversial billboard proclaiming "Wyoming has
Gonorrhea" has been removed from a street in the state about a month
after it was installed. Installed by the Wyoming Department of Health, the billboard which was designed to encourage residents to
get tested for sexually transmitted infections, resulted in numerous
complaints to the department after pictures of the advertisement went
viral on social media. The billboard was removed last week.
Critics called for a more educational approach for the campaign, rather than the blunt message at the side of Highway 59.
Molly Adami from the Wyoming Department of Health defended the blunt approach in mid-October.
"Obviously, some people are shocked, but it's getting
attention for an important cause, which is what it was designed to do,"
Adami said

Okay
At least it caught their attention, so it has served its purpose.
But they should actually get themselves checked.

Lol.
Good. TIMILEYIN BLESSING
Ok!!!
Blunt, yeah, but not creative.
They should come up with something more interesting, which would easily pass the message without resulting in making fun of the state.
Sincerely speaking the mind of Amadioha
Lol.

Aggressive advertising in my opinion.
