It's Spreading

Newsday reports:

A hacked electronic highway sign in northwestern Texas carried an international message that seemed to predate, well, the use of electricity. The sign Friday briefly flashed: "OMG The British R coming. They R watching you."

A statement from Austin Bridge & Road says someone "with a questionable sense of humor" accessed the password on the message board. The portable sign that was hacked has since been removed, since a permanent exit sign has been installed.
