You read "denial of the annunciation" into it.
To my own eyes, the billboard is sacrilegious, quite crass at the least, but were they really trying to convey "denial of the annunciation"?
Why jump so hard at the WORST possible interpretation of what idea they were trying to convey? Ask yourself that.
Has there been any explanation from the creators of the offending work, just what they were trying to say? You're probably the wrong guy to ask that question of, for you seem to have your own mind completely made up.

Nope. That’s what the pregnancy test image negates. There’s no reading into it. That’s the image.

That is what the image denies. Logically there is no other possibility. Why would a woman - any woman - need a pregnancy test if God just told he was was going to conceive?

I am not jumping on the worst possible interpretation. That is THE ONLY POSSIBLE interpretation. Ask yourself why you realize the obvious meaning of the image. That’s a better question.
“Has there been any explanation from the creators of the offending work, just what they were trying to say? You’re probably the wrong guy to ask that question of, for you seem to have your own mind completely made up.”
And you don’t? You’re denying the only possible interpretation. You must have your mind made up as well. Go ahead and suggest an interpretation. How far-fetched will yours be? Feel free to continue to embarrass yourself denying the obvious reality.
