In Austin Texas, a hacker gained control of a road sign by cutting a padlock and hacking a password. The hacker changed the sign to “Zombies in the Area” followed by, “Nazi Zombies in the area, run” and so on as a reference to Call of Duty: World at War. People in Austin were confused, in awe and some just laughed about it. City officials weren’t to happy as the sign could have potentially caused some real accidents and simply warn drivers of construction ahead. The Austin news team must be having a pretty slow news day considering that this “threat” is breaking news to them.

Meh, I think that we all could use a bit of irresponsibility now and again!

Hopefully if they catch the person responsible they’ll be lenient - the world needs a lil bit of sillyness now and then

Man, I would have LOVED to be still living in Austin when that happened. In fact, I might have actually taken part in it…XD.
