The conspiracy of silence continues. In Austin, Texas, a road sign blaring a warning about zombies was blamed on hackers and dismissed as a harmless prank. Do you really believe that? I know I don’t. Zombies are out there and they’re going to come sooner, not later.
The denials are running hot and heavy. They begin all the way at the top with Texas Department of Transportation director of public relations Chris Lippincott. Here’s his quote:
“It was clever, kind of cute, but not what it was intended for,” said Lippincott, who saw the sign during his morning commute. “Those signs are deployed for a reason — to improve traffic conditions, let folks know there’s a road closure.”
That’s exactly what the military wants us to believe. I’ve seen Return of the Living Dead, I know the story. There’s nothing you can do that will improve traffic conditions more than warning people that there are zombies on the loose, man! They have no respect for jaywalking laws or right of way! If there are zombies out there, that’s CRUCIAL information.
Parades may block traffic, but the Podunk County Marching Band isn’t going to drag you screaming from your car and eat your brains. Now Shriners? I wouldn’t put anything past those guys!
