Zombie Alert!
I
ncredible Daughter #3 dared me to blog about this, so I’m taking up the dare. And what the heck, who wouldn’t blog about zombies being spotted in Texas? An no, my Leftist readers, there is no connection between this incident and the recent return of our former president to the Lone Star state.
He’s in Houston or Crawford; this was in Austin.
But … where … is … Rove?
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 thought it was pretty funny,” said University of Texas sophomore Jane Shin, who saw the signs while driving down Lamar Bouelvard with friends Sunday night. “We wondered who did it.”
The City of Austin does not own the signs, but they are responsible for the message. The contractor on the construction project owns the signs. A city spokesperson said the hacked messages were only up for a few hours, until the construction project manager saw them during his morning commute and immediately ordered them to be changed back.
The bureaucrats were not amused, noting that highway-sign hacking is a misdemeanor in Texas because it could endanger the public. But not as much as zombies wandering around.
