Highway sign warns of zombies

Tulsa, OK (KTUL/CNN) - The electronic signs placed along roadways are designed to tell you what road hazards to look out for.

One sign in Tulsa, Oklahoma was re-programmed to warn you of a very unusual threat Thursday morning.

The sign along Interstate 44 was hacked and the message was changed to "Zombies Ahead".

I originally caught this story about some "Halloween pranksters" on CNN this morning, and, "ha-ha" wasn't their little joke funny?

Only I noticed something in the short video clip that CNN's commentators didn't see fit to say shit about. So I did a Google search for the story and, lo and behold... NOBODY FUCKING SAW WHAT I SAW. Watch the video that accompanies this news story, and pay special attention when the clip hits 00:14.

I won't spoil the surprise for you - just watch the video.

This "Halloween prank" was nothing less than a gutsy act of politically motivated civil disobedience, and NO ONE said a God damn thing about it.

ANYWHERE.

This DU post is the first time on the net that anyone is acknoweldgeing this act of bravado.

Two things: Bravo to the activists who pulled this off - someone DID notice what you were up to, and, secondly do NOT expect the media to be on our side as we take back our country from the mongrel right-wing dogs who've stolen our democracy.

And the place has been full of zombies ever since I've been there. Between ORU and Rhema bible college they crank 'em out at an incredible rate around here :silly: :spray:

9. Damn right about the media. They are HOSTILE to our needs and intentions. n/t

[OneAngryDemocrat]

10. I'm of the view...

...that if folks occupied FoxNews' corporate HQ parking lot, the media just might - might, mind you - find a story in that, somewhere.

Just sayin'...

14. Its not that they don't report; it is the slant or spin they put on it.

From the point of view of a clear understanding of how our social order works and what we can do to make it more responsive to human needs, they direct social attention away from central issues toward the insignificant, irrelevant and easily dismissed. Always.
