COD: Person hacks street signs warning of Nazi Zombies

January 29, 2009 in Photos comments 30

The clever things people think of these days. Someone near the University of texas hacked two construction signs warning people of Zombies invading the area. It goes on to warn people about Nazi Zombies. A clear reference to the popular COD: WAW mode "Nazi Zombies"
Hmm, two signs by the University of texas, I wonder who could have done it?

A quick update on our Monday report about the zombie invasion of Austin: over at the Austin American-Statesman, reporter Katie Petroski is investigating the Nazi zombie invasion story (complete with photos from this blog):

Someone reprogrammed two city construction road signs near the University of Texas early Monday morning in an attempt to warn Austin of an imminent zombie attack.

Messages that typically alert Lamar Boulevard drivers to a detour for Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard splashed several warnings like “Caution! Zombies Ahead!” and “Nazi Zombies! Run!!!”

As he drove south on Lamar, traffic controller Bruce Jones saw the first sign flash the Nazi zombies message at 6 a.m. and wheeled his truck around for another look. Then he said he noticed that the second sign, directed at northbound drivers, had also been tampered with.

No zombies have been seen in the area, and with any luck, Tuesday night’s cold front killed off any undead with ghoulish plans to invade the city.

    Uh... As a Texan, "texas" should be capitalized! It's TEXAS not "texas". What the hell is wrong with the staff of GameGrep? And to further correct your misspelled words it is "The University of Texas" much to the chagrin of Texas A&M alumni. If you are ever in Texas let me know. I would like to show you around, I promise you will never misspell anything about it again. The beauty will astonish you. Hell, I doubt you will ever want to leave!

        God damned right big deal! Don't you know how to spell? Are you too stupid to know that states are CAPITALIZED? Am I holding you to some higher standard unachievable? Am I wrong? Do you fault me? If you are not capable of spelling or learning then I beg your pardon. If the staff of GameGrep is too stupid to catch simple mistakes it's not your fault. They should be ridiculed not you. You can go suck on your lolly pop. You did your BEST! YEAH! GOOD FOR YOU!

          Again, OMFG! Is it that *bleep*ing big of a deal that I didn't capitalize a *bleep*ing letter. I *bleep*ing know that every *bleep*ing letter of states need to be *bleep*ing catalyzed. But *bleep*ing picky ass people like you need to *bleep*ing calm down because it isn't that *bleep*ing big of a deal. Your making it like its the *bleep*ing end of the world because I broke some stupid *bleep*ing rule. Its not like im writing a goddamn college thesis here.

      Your being satirical, or being a bitch.
      Probably the second.

      Winter's almost over, when the cold is gone they'll just thaw out and your safety net will be released. Stay calm, you've gotta go on the run, you need a small group too many people and you'll end up just being bait on a hook. Get some supplies, primary, secondary, melee weapons, first aid kit, rations, and get outta there. You're going to want to destroy the brain in order to "kill" a zombie.

    That's awesome. I didn't know that Texas could be funny like that

    (As the capitalized letter, hey, you shouldn't come in Europe where we're not writing states names in capital letters - you seems to forget that some of us aren't American -_-' and well, don't ever correct me because Nazi grammar/spelling beginning to annoy a non-English native speaker for it, I'm sending them to hell with a BFG 9000 - eeeeer... or a stakegun?)
