A tailgate decal on the back of a truck that shows a woman to be bound and tied in the back, is causing a bit stir in Texas.
At first glance, the optical illusion given off by the decal is so convincing that it really does appear that there is a woman in the back.
The sticker is the work of Hornet Signs, a marketing and advertising company in Waco.
According to Brad Kolb, the owner of the company, the sticker was put on an employees truck to gauge how realistic their decals are.
'I wasn't expecting the reactions we got, nor do we condone this by any means,' Mr Kolb told KWTX.

I hope the Truck Company is billed for all the resources used in handling the calls.
