Tongue-in-Cheek Arabic Language Billboard Goes Up Near Dearborn
Politics gets punchy with three weeks to go.
(Originally published Oct. 18, 2016) DEARBORN, MI – The folks behind the popular party game "Cards Against Humanity" are playing a joke on Donald Trump via a billboard on the outskirts of Dearborn.
The Nuisance Committee, based in Chicago, recently placed an anti-Donald Trump billboard along westbound Interstate 94 near Dearborn. It’s expected to stay up through Election Day, according to The Detroit News.
Written mostly in Arabic, the sign reads: “Donald Trump, he can’t read this, but he is scared of it anyway,” according to Kitty Kurth, spokeswoman for the Nuisance Committee, which was started by founders of the game Cards Against Humanity.

The billboard was placed near Dearborn because of its large Arab-American population, according to the committee. The Republican presidential nominee has come under fire for his comments regarding Muslims. Another reason is that Michigan is a key swing state.
