Jun 19 2009Over The Line!: Road Sign Hacked In DC
Apparently somebody hacked a couple DC traffic signs to say dirty words. In case you were wondering, there's a UC missing in the first line and an ALL in the third. Some people, no class.
If you think your commute can be offensive, you should have been driving northbound on the Virginia side of the Key Bridge Thursday morning.
It appeared that someone hacked into an electronic sign near the Rosslyn exit for the Key Bridge and posted an inappropriate message.Another sign at Chain Bridge Road and the GW Parkway had a similar message but was turned off earlier.
Oh hell yeah GW Parkway. I OWN YOUR ROADZ! You hear that, George Washington -- it's mine now. Put that in your cherry pipe and smoke it!
Hackers steer commuters toward offensive sign [wtop]
Thanks to Zekcus, who hacked a Circus of Values vending machine in Bioshock to stop making that scary laugh.

I have a sign I drive by locally. I've been wanting to do this myself for a while.

I still remember the first time I visited this site. It was a warm but cloudy day... and I thought GW here stood for George Washington. It was an association FAIL.

I'm glad you are having such a terrible time at this site, might want to consider finding better freinds at a different site.

If you were over the age of 18, or knew how to use the intertubes, you would know that Gordon Shumway is the real name of ALF. By giving ALF a silly tough guy name, I am humorously sticking it to Geekologie's laguage filter. But...you're a n00b. If you weren't a n00b, you would've already known this. Now shut off the computer before your mommy makes you rub her feet as punishment again.

Looks like something @15 would write on a road sign if the douchetard curse he's had since birth were ever to go idle for an hour or two

FAKE!!!!
This is a complete photosdhop job. You can tell its a fake because the shadow's are all wrong.
This is exactly like that scene in the movie Never BAck Down where Max steals a Mustang, and then hears the previous owner didn't have insurance. He returned the car and stole another one, but the cops ended up chasing him.
He evaded the cops in a car wash, stealing a similar car from the clean side of the car wash.

they should put something like:
NEVER GONNA GIVE YOU UP
NEVER GONNA LET YOU DOWN
NEVER GONNA RUN AROUND AND DESERT YOU
