I think stuff like this is hilarious, and don't really agree with the thought that it could distract drivers and cause them to miss the fact that their are people working on the road.
Warning signs like this usually cause me to sit up and pay attention no matter what they say, and one warning of Nazi Zombies and or Raptors would certainly cause me to stop fiddling with the radio and pay the fuck attention, so I doubt any road crews are in danger.
How so you feel about this? Funny? Wrong? Irresponsible?

I read that on Yahoo news earlier and even though it is messing with driver safety it is still pretty damn cool.

Imagine if they did something like War of The Worlds again and also hacked these kinds of signs along with it.

Well, if the sign said something along the lines of "Road is fucking icy, slow down or face the very real possibility of death", it's irresponsible. If it was "hey watch out for roadworkers, just giving you a reminder to legally cover our asses", then it's A-OK.

You know, if it were a real "Zombies Ahead" sign, noone would be believe it.

I'd actually be afraid if I saw that sign on the road, especially at night. And I have a friend who would probably have a coronary; his greatest fear is zombie attack.
