A woman has taken revenge on her cheating husband by publicly shaming him on a billboard.
The mock advertisement, erected on a busy avenue in Greensboro, North Carolina, is written in the style of a MasterCard commercial and details how 'Jennifer' discovered her husband's infidelity.
It reads: 'Michael- GPS Tracker - $250, Nikon camera with zoom lens - $1600, Catching my LYING HUSBAND and buying this billboard with our investment account - Priceless. -Jennifer.'
And a footnote at the bottom of the billboard adds: 'Tell Jessica you're moving in!'
The eye-catching advertisement has slowed traffic on Battleground Avenue as onlookers stop to applaud the woman's gumption.
One admirer told Fox News: 'I love that woman. Good for her!' while another admitted: 'I wish i had done that in an earlier relationship!'
But others have wondered whether Jennifer, her alleged cheating husband Michael, and his apparent girlfriend Jessica actually exist, or if the billboard is instead a clever marketing ploy.
If so, it wouldn't be the first time a company has used a 'cheating husband' to attract attention.
In 2006, CourtTV used a strikingly similar marketing strategy to advertise for their reality series. Parco P.I.
On white billboards all over the country, these words were written: 'Hi Steven. Do I have your attention now? I know all about her, you dirty, sneaky, immoral, unfaithful, poorly-endowed slimeball. Everything's caught on tape. Your (soon-to-be-ex) Wife, Emily.'
And not unlike the Greensboro billboard, there was an extra message at the end that read: 'P.S. I paid for this billboard from OUR joint bank account.'
The signs turned out to be an elaborate stunt to promote the new season of the show.
But whether or not this latest billboard message has a marketing agenda still remains unclear.
According to Fox News, Outdoor Signage - the company that owns the billboard - just recently built it, and they have not yet commented on its content.
So far no one has come forward to claim responsibility for the sign.
