reminds me of one of the Simpsons Treehouse of Horrors eps. There's one where Homer steals a giant metal donut from a Bob's Big Boy type statue/sign. Well, the Donut Boy isnt too happy and comes to life causing all sorts of mayhem (and so do his buddies, including a giant Colonel and Marlboro Man). Giving the donut back doesnt rectify the situation so the town of Springfield ignore the giant advertisements and they all die.
