Traffic sign prank warns of 'zombie strippers' in Portland

09:38 AM PDT on Thursday, July 30, 2009

PORTLAND, Ore. -- It's happened across the country -- traffic signs getting hijacked by computer hackers, and now it's happened in Portland.

A contractor?s traffic sign on the Powell just east of the Ross Island Bridge overnight Wednesday read ?Caution zombie strippers."

The sign had been switched off by Thursday morning.

Video available on the site.

:laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

Yes, because the actual construction people are the ones looking for it and cannot do any work until the sign is returned.

Oldmoboat's law certainly applies. It was hilarious the 1st time. Then, it was hilarious the 2nd time. Still funny the 3rd time. Funny the 4th time. The 5th time deserved a chuckle....

This is what, the 100th time? Now, it's getting old. In Russia, Zombie Stippers make sign warning about YOU! Oh wait - that stopped being funny several years ago too.

I've never seen this happen. I always figured they were just chopped or set up by the construction crew, pictures snapped, and then fixed.

Someone made a website about how to change them. It's incredibly easy to do.

http://forums.anandtech.com/me...id=38&threadid=2310488

Original thread it somewhere... then there were several reposts of it and olds made that to post in at least one of them.
Threads god locked before he had a chance to post the picture, so he made that thread and posted it there.
