The very lovely and talented Kate Weidaw did a report on the sign mod this morning on KXAN. Mentioned that the, um, vandalism of the sign is a Class C Misdemeanor.

Finally Mayor Wynn's bizarre "Thriller" dance explained. Obviously the Undead PAC has gotten to him.

It was that way southbound when this pic was taken, too, but I also preferred the northbound sign.

Looks like someone read this blog entry last week: Hacking Road Signs, from Gizmodo.com

As of 2:30am, there was a southbound mirror to that message as well. I didn't get out of my car to take a picture, though, because it wasn't quite as inspired. That second sign did, however, let me know that there were *Nazi Zombies*, so I figure those copycat pranksters love them some Call of Duty. I just love that that means that so many people have figured out how to change what those traffic signs say. Soon it's gonna be like L.A. Story, but for real.
