When road signs in Texas warned of Nazi zombies last week, we all collectively had a good laugh. When “hackers” pulled the same stunt a few days later in my beloved home state of Indiana, I could barely muster the energy to defend the copy cat “crime”. In all due respect, Zombies pose a much greater threat to humanity than 10K hard drives. That said, we did get this gem from a passing motorist “It’s kind of crazy. I’m totally confused. I’m kind of expecting… dinosaurs to run down the road, or something.” Totally. This comment made me cringe.
In what seems to be a me too type prank-a-thon, hackers (and I use this term loosely) again warned of the coming zombie apocalypse in Illinois yesterday by, you guessed it, changing a road sign to read “DAILY LANE CLOSURES DUE TO ZOMBIES”. So to map this out, the Zombies have somehow migrated north from Texas, all the way to Illinois and Raptors are running loose in central Indiana. I expect the two groups to meet somewhere around Terre Haute, Indiana. If this happens, I say we just give them the entire city.
Is this even funny anymore? These road signs are notoriously low-hanging fruit when it comes to civil disobedience. Then again, if this is what the folks of a rather affluent area of northern Indianapolis choose to do with their time, so be it. It’s far better than my choice of recreation.
Who am I kidding? This is totally awesome. Totally.
