The threat of a lawsuit prompted a physician's group to scrap plans for an anti-cheese billboard featuring a popular Wisconsin icon. The Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine planned to erect a billboard near Green Bay depicting the Grim Reaper with a foam cheesehead hat. The company that makes the cheese hats threatened to sue, so the billboard group decided to remove the icon from the billboard.

The Assembly will vote Tuesday to honor Ralph Bruno, the man who invented the state's iconic cheesehead hat. The Associated Press says Bruno made the first hat in 1987 using stuffing from his couch.

Bennett Olson says he has taken a sales and marketing associate position at Laser Design & GKS Services in Bloomington. The 22-year-old paid $300 last month to advertise his online resume on the electronic billboard along 35W near downtown Minneapolis.

A man from Rosemount is putting himself out there on 35W in hopes of finding employment, the Town Pages reports.

The fast-food restaurant plans to correct a pair of billboards in St. Paul written in the Hmong language next week. The McDonald breakfast signs read, "Yuavtxhawbpabraukojsawv yuavntxivzograukoj mus," which loosely translates to say, "Coffee gets you up, breakfast gets you going." However, members of the Hmong community tell the Pioneer Press the text "doesn't make sense" and "there should definitely be spaces in between those words."

California-based Activision, which produces games including the blockbuster hit "Call of Duty," has announced plans to lay off 31 employers at its Eden Prairie and Bloomington offices just three days after Christmas, KSTP reports.

Bennett Olson felt an electronic billboard was the most cost-effective way to promote his face, name and website to future employers. Olson paid $300 to be among a rotation of ads for 24 hours along Interstate 35W near downtown Minneapolis. He told the Rosemount TownPages he would like to have a job using technology.
