Funny sign in Chicago

While traveling to Midway airport in Chicago, we saw a big red billboard sign on the side of a building that says simply, "I pooted."
Just wondering if there is a meaning to this or is it just for a laugh!?

You can thank the Cartoon Network for these bewildering billboards.

A few months ago, there was a billboard on the northbound side of the Tristate/294, just south of O'Hare. It basically showed the back of a hand, with an extended ring finger that went up well above the top of the billboard - but from a distance it looked like a middle finger. The ad was for some jeweler, and the headline read, "She's not enraged, she's engaged." (once you got close enough, you could see the ring). Kind of hard to describe, but it made me laugh every time I went by it. It wasn't there the last time, a few weeks ago.

There is a sign (or was a sign as of 5 years ago) on I-80 East just as you entered Winnemucca, Nevada that read

"Welcome to Winnemucca, 6 billion people have never been here."

My hubby designs and sells billboards but nobody around here is brave enough to do such creative advertising.

On Thursday I saw this sign at a local meat shop in Montego Bay.

"Stiff Breast for sale".
I can only hope that it's in reference to chicken breasts...
