ZOMBIE road signs are invading Australia, as vandals take to hacking the electronic displays with simple instructions from the web.
"Zombies ahead!" warned one sign on the Gold Coast this week, in reference to a now-infamous message displayed in the US last month. (((The mighty reach of Austin cultural imperialism.)))
The pranksters also illegally hacked into signs around the area with other messages, including "Nobody has ever loved you," according to GoldCoast.com.au. (((Gosh, that's veering right into Barbara Kruger territory.)))
Another sign displayed the phrase "All your sign are belong to us," a reference to a popular web video of a poorly-translated Japanese video game.
Reader's Comments: 'Appalling violence' or legitimate art form?
(((How about appalling violence AS a legitimate art form?)))
"I had a good laugh," said Adam Hudson, who spotted the signs on the way to the gym.
But the Queensland Department of Main Roads was not laughing and said the prank had the potential to kill.... (((And the slaughtered on those imperilled highways will TOTTER BACK FROM THE DEAD to eat the living brains of the geeks who distributed this instructable.)))
