Waco, TX sign company Hornet Signs is helping to prove the old adage that no one ever went broke underestimating the taste of the American public. The outfit has created an understandable stir of late with a vinyl tailgate wrap that is made to look like a woman, bound hand and foot, lying in the back of a pickup truck bed.

Hornet Sign owner Brad Kolb has said that the wrap, one of a series of realistic looking images made for truck tailgates, was meant as a marketing tool to drive interest in his company's products. With a spot on a recent KWTX news broadcast and (obviously) a growing storm of Internet traffic, he was pretty spot on in that regard.

Not surprisingly, Kolb would prefer that his bad taste not be confused with criminal intentions.
