Aug 26 2009Smoke Bud: Another Hacked Roadsign
Another day, another hacked roadsign, this time in Raleigh, NC outside North Carolina State University. Honestly, I have no idea what this bud is of which the sign speaks (you hear that, mom -- no idea!), but if it's anything like banana peels and grape leaves, you count me in. Whee, I see stars! I mean it -- I'm passing out somebody catch me.
Tampered sign promotes pot [abc]
Thanks to Milkman, who better stop using the backdoor.

The guy was obviously stoned... all he could think about was turning others to the dark, green, herbal side

@Mr. Cow: Chirp!
Usually they set the password to "password" unless they have it written inside the lid... not that I would, uh, know about these sort of thing!!

"Got Milk?" would have been funnier than that. LAME

Irony - this guy has it. We all know damned well a single stoner did not put down is Mtn Dew and Cheetos to do this.

FAKE!!!!
This is a complete photoshop 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 went over to doc's house turned up all the amplifiers and when he strummed his guitar it knocked him on his rear end.

I thought the zombie ones were infinitely better. It loses credence when it devolves like this.

Once ive seen a local hacked roadsign that said something like:
"Zombie Invasion
Take Detour"
or was it "Use Detour" ? oh well, you get the idea.

Is this the best he could come up with?

Daisy, a photoshop job would have been funnier.

Actually, that road sign was hacked by an illegal immigrant from India who owns the local convenience store / gas station / slurpee machine/ and bong shop. it was cheap advertising for him to sell snack foods and bongs with the use of subliminal messaging.

Haha the reason it only said smoke bud was because RPD rolled up right in the process of doing it. But its easy to hack into the password was 1234 then it just said access granted.
