While funny they did not go the whole way with this prank.
What they could have done is place an ad in Craigslist asking for zombie extras for a student or low budget film to show up at a specified intersection and acting like zombies to be filmed from atop a nearby building. In addition in the same ad they would ask for "victims" to show up covered in gore and maybe with fake limbs to be ripped off etc, they would then team up with a zom or two and do short attack and eat scenes.
And yes I know it's illegal to tamper with these signs, but it is not such a crime that I can't give props to the people who did it.

I'm impressed....if they ever catch the perps, the judge should sentence them to a weekend of picking up trash on the Interstate....in zombie costumes.... =D
-
I agree it's funny . . . but it's not just a matter of walking by a sign and tapping out a new message on an unattended keyboad. Local news says the perps had to break the lock (i.e., cause physical damage) in order to access the electronics.
Not quite so funny any more. :police:

Ok so if they're caught, make 'em pay for new padlocks. It's not like they cost thousands of dollars. Still funny to me. :laugh:
-
definitely funny, as long as the original message was not paramount to traffic safety.
-
What are these signs used for in America?
In Israel, we use them to warn about traffic jams. Usually futile.
-
These signs are set up near construction zones to warn drivers of the construction, closed routes, and / or to suggest alternate routes.
-
They have a lot of purposes. Construction warnings, sections of road being closed due to traffic jams, Amber Alert-type things for cars (seen once, in Dallas), warnings against drinking and driving.
-
Around Houston, they use them to warn you of a traffic jam ahead, but manage to place the signs such that you don't see the warning until after you have passed the turn off for the alternate route. :D

They learn from the Tel-Aviv city government, I see.:D :D

Instead of taking money from the taxpayers, how about confining the prank to 6th Street and leaving the Productive Class out of it?
As I tell my guys, fun is fun, but let's not make any more felonies than we have already. =D

Or the sign warns you about construction or a traffic jam that does not exist...
ROAD WORK LEFT LANE CLOSED AHEAD
So everyone start's slowing down and moving over. Then when you get up there, maybe there's a bunch of construction barricades stacked neatly on the side of the road waiting to be picked up.

Why do I think you have one of these signs that constantly reads..."GET OFF MY LAWN"? =D

That would be pretty funny, but I could see it going horribly wrong for some of the "zombies" involved, ESPECIALLY in Texas. :laugh:

Yeah, the zombies would all starve down there...
Think about it, if you can.
