Two teenagers have been held accountable for causing a pornographic video to be displayed on an electronic billboard located alongside a highway in Michigan, police said Friday.
Authorities in Auburn Hills said that a 16-year-old from South Lyon and an 18-year-old from Sterling Heights admitted their involvement in an X-rated stunt that stunned drivers.
The incident unfolded on the evening of September 28, 2019, when police received multiple calls from motorists about porn being played on a billboard alongside Interstate 75.
Authorities shared video footage soon afterward that showed two suspects entering a roadside shed beneath the billboard that contained a computer from where it could be controlled.
Auburn Police Department Lt. Ryan Gagnon said that authorities subsequently received anonymous tips that resulted in successfully identifying both suspects, local media reported.
“Both were interviewed and admitted responsibility,” Lt. Gagnon said Friday, The Macomb Daily newspaper reported.
The teens entered the shed through an unlocked door and spent around 15 minutes inside, The Detroit Free Press reported. Once started, the pornographic video played on the billboard for around 15 to 20 minutes before being stopped.
“That is unclear how exactly they thought about this or why they chose this, other than you can obviously see a shed underneath the sign and maybe curiosity piqued their interest whether or not they could get in, maybe that ran the billboard,” Lt. Gagnon added, according to The Detroit Free Press. “You look at any other billboard and there is no shed underneath it.”

Enough stupidity to go around here, that's for sure
It’s kinda funny...
As long as it didn't cause an accident
More than kinda.
We had some hacked talking a about the zombie apocalypse.
In another part of Michigan young hackers made the road construction lights say “Danger—Zombies Ahead.” Took the authorities a day to change it back.
i think its funny... Kids have some ingenuity!! lol
Maurice the Hormone Monster made them do it. :P
Yes, this is the actual definition of a "prank" unlike other pranks we read about in the news. "They were good boys. They were just playing a prank when they dropped those chunks of concrete from the overpass onto those moving cars below."
I’m a Christian.
But I also have a sense of humor. You go guys!
In the comments, someone mentioned kids photoshopping teachers’ license plates are speeding past traffic control cameras.
That is another good one!
Gives a whole new meaning to “blue highways”.
Heh, they have some gumption.
I’ll admit I’ve been chuckling at this the past 5 minutes. LOL!
Me Too!!! LMAO
Ping.
Kinda makes me wonder
If it was gay porn, would the left defend it?
Probably.
Took some talent. Personally, I hope it does not go on their record but are scared straight with a night in the jail.
As long as we don’t let kids know we approve of this but they can see we got a chuckle out of it, they will see a human side and will make them more receptive to us and our values.
I was an adult leader of a Christian youth group years back and anyone too staid wasn’t taken very seriously.
You gotta walk that fine line between showing them what’s right/wrong while being realistic that no one’s perfect.
I’m far from and thought this was pretty funny too :)
No audio but we are talking XXX porn.
Not that I heard about while in HS or participated in any way.
