Holy_COW Posted January 31, 2009 Report Posted January 31, 2009 Hackers convert road traffic signs into undead alert systems. by Chris Iaquinta showUSloc=(checkLocale('uk')||checkLocale('au'));d ocument.writeln(showUSloc ? 'US, ' : ''); January 29, 2009 - What would you do in the event of a zombie apocalypse? Would you head to the local mall with Ving Rhames or team up with a biker, army vet and cute college girl and try to cure the infection one bullet at a time? Well, motorists driving around the University of Texas got to entertain their undead thoughts a little on Monday morning when two electronic road signs flashed alerts of a impeding zombie attack. Quick, grab the medkits and uzis! The signs, which were in place to alert drivers to a detour, instead contained messages like "Caution! Zombies Ahead" and "Nazi Zombies! Run!!!" for passersby to see. And you thought regular zombies were bad, but man, those Nazi zombies are a-holes. Traffic controllers reported that the signs generated substantial safety hazards thanks to drivers slowing down to view the messages and take photos. Welcome to the real world of what would really happen if the infected took over the country folks, photo opportunities. Hey mister zombie man, say cheese! "BRAINS!!!". Eh, close enough.
