Galveston, You Have Been Warned: Zombies Will Come from the North

    This whole hacking-DMS signs is getting a little old. Now, nobody is going to pay attention when there is an ACTUAL zombie invasion!

    no worries, fortunately my hurricane preparedness kit can double for a zombie kit

    From Benjy Compson:

    Zombies has already been done. Come up with something new to fake-warn us about.

    Just off the top of my head, I came up with Giant Mutant Crocodiles. That would scare some people.

    sadly zombies are still the hip/internet/meme thing to talk about so it’ll be the focus for a while.

    It’s also a short word that will fit on the sign . . .

    From bigintexas33:

    How about:

    “Vampire alert! Curfew @ 7″

    “Hannah Montana! exit now” (just to get the kids worked up and drive the parents insane)

    “Caution: Baseball Fail Zone” (better if near Minute Maid Park)

    “Put your F*cking Phone Down”

    “Call 713-555-5555 Good Time!” (using the number of someone you really don’t like)

    clearly this was a prank, you rubes. zombies survive on brains, and there are none of those on the mainland (once you get past Nasa at least)…

    That whole nuclear thing in Japan is sure to breed a new crop of Mothras and Godzillas.

    I would suggest preparing for EOTWAWKI. It’s coming.

    Thank goodness 75% of the Houston population have concealed weapon permits. They will be well prepared to deal with the ensuing zombie attack.
