Zombies! Run!

Thanks to a tip from you know who, who was laughing hysterically over this article at MSNBC


Pranks with electronic road signs stir worry

COLLINSVILLE, Illinois – Pranksters in at least three states are messing with electronic road signs meant to warn motorists of possible traffic problems by putting drivers on notice about Nazi zombies and raptors. And highway safety officials aren’t amused.

The latest breach came Tuesday during the morning rush hour near Collinsville, Ill., where hackers changed a sign along southbound Interstate 255 to read, “DAILY LANE CLOSURES DUE TO ZOMBIES.”

A day earlier in Indiana’s Hamilton County, the electronic message on a board in Carmel’s construction zone warned drivers of “RAPTORS AHEAD — CAUTION.”

And signs in Austin, Texas, recently flashed: “NAZI ZOMBIES! RUN!!!” and “ZOMBIES IN AREA! RUN.”

    I read about this happening in Texas around Austin. I laughed my ass off, wishing I could have see it. I would have LOVED it.

    The Texas HWY Dept took it pretty good. Yes, it’s a crime. And No, they don’t want it to happen again, but I swear, there seem to be an underlying chuckle to his words.

    I might have freaked out because I might have believed it. I am very suggestible. 8O

    Hotrod probably would have believed it too. Or at least questioned it. When we took the vampire tour in New Orleans, he was concerned we were going to be introduced to real vampires. :roll:

    That is so darn funny but what is funnier is that I would have been looking over my shoulder for zombies all day. Too much Dawn of the Dead back in the day.

    Those signs would have had me laughing. I know they can be a nuisance, though, as we had similar problems with hackers and road signs a few years ago.

About Me


Angela James

There is nothing worse than writing a bio. And writing one for your blog sidebar? Blech. Maybe you landed here via Google, followed me from Twitter (does that make you a stalker?) or maybe we met at a conference or you clicked a link from a comment I made at a blog you visited. Hopefully whatever I said didn't make you so mad you came looking for a picture to throw darts at (yep, that's me up above, in my favorite cowboy hat) but instead drove you to find out more about the amazingly witty and intelligent person behind the amazingly witty and intelligent comment.

However you found me, who you found is Angela James, executive editor of Carina Press, Harlequin's new digital-first press. I'm passionate about digital publishing, my mission is to drag people to the digital dark side, one reader (and author) at a time. I'm also Brianna's mommy. At my blog you'll get an odd mix of personal and professional posts about parenting, publishing, books, cooking, sewing and life in general. Come back often, comment frequently and go green—buy ebooks!

Please note that this is my personal blog and my opinions are neither that of Harlequin, nor representative of their opinions.

First, I blog once or twice a week at theCarina Press blog, talking about the job, the authors, the books and other things Carina Press. And, of course, you can always find me on Twitter. Or Facebook, if you prefer (mostly the same content, one feeds the other). I also run the Carina Press Twitter and Facebook accounts. Social media, it's where it's at (well, it's where I'm at, anyway).
