MNU Really Wants You To Stay Away From Aliens Dan Koelsch, May 31, 2009May 1, 2010 Both on our sister site District9news and our own forum, we mentioned over a week ago the billboard that showed up with the phone number to call if you see an aliens.

While each is tailored to the surface and location it’s posted on, they all demand you report non-humans, and the number to report them is the same. Here are a couple of the photos, but check out our forum to see them all and talk about it. To my understanding, these are all in the Los Angeles area, so if you see any outside of SoCal, let us know. And take photos! Viral Marketing District 9MNUMulti-National United
