WACO, TX (KWTX/CNN) – If you saw someone tied up in the back of a truck, would you call the cops?

A tailgate decal depicting just that is creating quite a controversy surrounding that question.

On the surface, it looks like a woman is tied up the back of a truck casually driving down the road. In actuality, it's an optical illusion created by Hornet Signs in Waco.

"I wasn't expecting the reactions we got, nor is it anything we really condone," Brad Cobb, who owns Hornet Signs, said. "It was just something we had to put out there to see who notices it."

"It was an experiment for us and something that was short term, so I was really shocked at how much traffic it did drive," Cobb said.
Almost all of which has been negative. "Abduction or any violence against women is not funny or cute," Rhonda Broughton commented on KWTX's Facebook page.

But, as the old saying goes, there's no such thing as bad publicity. Cobb said the controversy has led to a significant increase in Hornet Signs' business.

If the world ends today I won't be surprised. There has to be a tipping point of cruel.
