Actually, just people that look like the Rangers Bullpen. Really, somebody's joke:
AUSTIN (KXAN) - Austin drivers making their morning commute were in for a surprise when two road signs on a busy stretch of road were taken over by hackers.
"Even though this may seem amusing to a lot of people, this is really serious, and it is a crime," said Austin Public Works spokesperson Sara Hartley. "And you can be indicted for it, and we want to make sure our traffic on the roadways stays safe."

good point
hadnt thought of that
mormons stole me and held me against my will with Oklahoma beer and 12+ hour work days.
this is why you encrypt the signs
there was a story on digg a couple of days about about how basically anyone who tries can change the wording on any of those signs
Scout: He was a first-round pick right? Got a huge bonus?
KG: Oh yeah.
Scout: Well, he spent a lot of it on milkshakes.
It's kind of like stealing mail.
Suburban mailboxes aren’t hard to “break” into. Anyone who wants to steal your Baseball America or Playboy subscription can just walk right up to your mailbox and take it.
It’s sort of like an honor system, I guess… and the whole “federal crime” thing.

thats what he said

Kind of funny
Especially how they describe it as a crime, yet it is a Class C misdemeanor. I’m sure the city of Austin will do all it can to make sure to punish those responsible with that terrible 500 dollar fine.

I don't think so
What’s funnier, Jurrassic Park or Shaun of the Dead?
Purgatory's kind of like the in-betweeny one. You weren't really shit, but you weren't all that great either. Like Tottenham.
Shaun of the dead
No contest.

what if it said big hole ahead or sumpn?
those are the people i remember when i spent 18 months in NC…
mormons stole me and held me against my will with Oklahoma beer and 12+ hour work days.
What if everyone
totally ignored the signs? Then would it still be funny?
