A new billboard in Manchester has been stirring up quite the conversation among locals and commuters. Situated on Route 93, the billboard features a distressed-looking squirrel with its mouth wide open, possibly mid-chirp, expressing its dismay at McNeill & Sons Tree Service. The squirrel's speech bubble reads, "McNeill & Sons are monsters. They made an entire tree (full of acorns) completely disappear."

The billboard, which has a green background and a wide white speech bubble in the center, also showcases a row of five stars next to the squirrel. Interestingly, only the first two stars are filled with a dark color, while the last three remain empty, indicating a lower rating for the company.

Comments on the billboard have been flooding in on social media platforms like Reddit. One user humorously noted, "It’s funny when you have time to read it, but if you’re driving by at 50-60mph all you might read is they are monsters." Another user expressed their surprise with, "SHOCKING behavior from McNeill & Sons."

The placement of the billboard has also raised eyebrows, with one commenter stating, "Bold move putting that billboard up in a country where a 1/4 lbs. burger outsold a 1/3 lbs. burger because consumers thought the former was larger than the latter." Another user quipped, "This sign is nuttier than a squirrel terd," adding to the light-hearted criticism.

Despite the mixed reactions, some found the billboard clever and amusing. One user commented, "Clever!" while another remarked, "What a-corn-y joke! Bet you they're squirrely folks, best not try them -- they're probably nuts!"

The controversy surrounding the billboard has been a topic of conversation for many, with some even noting the irony of replacing a tree with a billboard criticizing tree removal services. As the billboard continues to catch the eye of passersby, it remains to be seen how McNeill & Sons Tree Service will respond to their newfound notoriety.

This quirky advertisement has certainly achieved its goal of grabbing attention and sparking discussions, making it a must-see for anyone traveling through Manchester on Route 93.

It’s funny when you have time to read it, but if you’re driving by at 50:60mph all you might read is they are monsters.  Maybe not the best ad.

Bold move putting that billboard up in a country where 1/4 lbs. burger outsold a 1/3 lbs. burger becuase consumers thought the former was larger than the latter.
