(AP) - President Barack Obama will soon be leaving Times Square.
An outerwear company that used an image of Obama standing in front of the Great Wall of China on its giant billboard says it will take down the sign on Wednesday, nearly three weeks after the White House requested it.
Now the company wants to use Sarah Palin as a model, but hasn't heard back from the former Alaska governor and Republican VP candidate.
The Obama ad used an Associated Press news photo from Obama's trip to China. Weatherproof had purchased the rights to the photo but did not get the necessary White House clearance to use Obama's image.
Meanwhile, a new billboard spoofing the ad has gone up for the AMC network, advertising the third season of its show, "Breaking Bad," about a teacher who turns to drug dealing. Instead of "A Leader in Style," it says, "A Dealer In Style."
