Sounds like billboards for the Omen remake that's opening on 06/06/06.

eta: The Omen I can't view the website from work because I'm stuck with an antiquated browser, but you can take a look and see if it looks like the billboards or not. Heed the Omen is another. That one changed from the first time I looked at it to this one. Weird.

I wouldn't be surprized if it had to do with the release of the remake of " The Omen "
It's due to be released June 6 of this year

Then today driving to work, I saw 2 more. The signs are all around me. But I don't know what they are for. Does anyone have any inside info?
I believe it's promotion for an upcoming movie. A remake of "The Omen" is scheduled for release on June 6th, playing off of the '666'/number of the beast myth. It was also being referred to, during production, as "The Omen 666".
Another movie called "The Beast" is also slated for release on 6/6/06, but it seems to be a non-major studio release, and probably not the subject of the billboard campaign.
ETA: Egads! What a spanking!

I've seen them, too. I'm guessing some new film or TV series, probably built along a Revelation/Apocalyptic theme like LaHaye's "Left Behind" novels. PCm nonsense, IMHO.

And the Air Force was prompted to investigate after numerous calls were made to emergency numbers and news stations in Panama City, Fla.
