NEAR SUTHERLIN, Ore. - A religiously-motivated billboard along Interstate 5 is grabbing a lot of attention.
 
The sign posted along I-5 just south of Sutherlin shows four pictures, each one in transition from a man to a monkey. The advertiser claims the intent of the billboard is to raise awareness about possible misrepresentations of the theory of evolution, naturalism, and Darwinism.
 
However, someone climbed up onto the billboard platform and spray-painted Obama's name right under the face of the monkey.
 
The Douglas County Sheriff's Office is now looking into this very visible case of vandalism.
 
It's unclear when or if the sign will come down.
