If Joe happens to be a deviant criminal and doesn't like to be reminded of the fact, then he should avert his gaze when driving by. If Joe is not a deviant criminal, then he can sue the person who put up the billboard for damages incurred.

And then there will be a tide of amicus briefs making the same generic arguments about free speech and slippery slopes and parades of horribles, and it's a question of whether Joe wants to spend lots of money and time on litigating the issue, which may cost substantially more than the original libel, thus creating a market for lies which is effectively what we have now.
