I guess most people wouldn't get the idea.
Since my country is so sunny and in the summer it gets very hot, every summer a forest is burnt.
So the entier country is full of those sings, reminding people to extinguish their fire after BBQing.

billboards are a science unto themselves. a lot of research has gone into determining just how much information a person can digest and retain in specific time spans. they use this information to develop formulas for determining the number of words and letters to use on billboards, as well as their sizes. they also determine the size and number of visual elements to include.
the graphics/photograph on a billboard are designed to get the point across in a moment. on the road, a driver will have less time with a billboard than a voter will give your image. this is a key element in the challenge: composing a shot that will get its point across quickly and succintly. along those lines, a strong composition will probably have few details and make strong use of negative space.

awesome interpretation! this would get the point across even at 90 mph. at least a 9 from me.
Simple and it works. When driving you don't have a lot of time to read billboards. The photo needs to say it all. This does. Great job.
I know you'll hear a lot about the F'word being spelled wrong so I won't mention it...nope...mummmmmmmmmm's the word :)
