    What does a traffic zombie eat?

    Some people have no sense of humour.

    What horribly irresponsible behavior!! When people see these fake messages they will start to ignore the signs. Then when the zombies really do show up, people will not believe the warnings and everyone will be eaten alive.

    Just after the reporter says that most people slowed down after seeing the sign she remarks that this is a safety hazard because the sign should have read “slow, work zone ahead”, which is a sign that people see so often they rarely slow down. priceless.

    Saw this months back and thought it was a hoot. Just saw the trailer at http://www.apple.com/trailers/independent/deadsnow/ and think the sign is that bit more scary now.
