AUSTIN (KXAN) - Austin drivers making their morning commute were in for a surprise when two road signs on a busy stretch of road were taken over by hackers. The signs near the intersection of Lamar and Martin Luther King boulevards usually warn drivers about upcoming construction, but Monday morning they warned of "zombies ahead."
I was posting my story at the same time, and had difficulty uploading an image. I felt that warnings of zombie attacks were more fitting for Current Events than General Discussion!
I was torn as well. My first instinct was to go to current events but people get so serious over there. I'd hate to see, "Only in America" showing up for Zombies or how it was Republican plot to topple the new Democratic regime.

I chuckled at how spot on this was.. And for some reason it made me think of the manbearpig episode of South Park, only it was xyun I pictured standing there saying "I'm totally serial!!".

Was it half man, half bear-pig? Or half pig, half man-bear?

if you were walking around and you came upon a tulip with tits, would you let it be for the rest of the world to enjoy.. or would you pick it and carry it off to a secluded area to motorboat them?

I pass the zombie sign twice daily now, and I keep wanting to see something on it...it has been turned off completely in the morning and around lunch time when I pass.
