The greater Pittsburgh area is famous for its constant state of road construction, just ask any of us who live in the area. Commuters are told so often to use their favorite alternate routes that we joke that the city's motto should be:
You can't get there from here!
With this in mind, I was quite surprised that the following news story had not happened in Pittsburgh...
WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. - A hacker put an obscene message, possibly for the city's mayor, on an electronic traffic message board, shocking morning commuters.
Mayor Lois Frankel recently had put up large electronic signs that flash humorous messages meant to make light of ongoing construction delays, such as "I Am Mad Too! - Lois."
A hacker typed in the three-word message that Frankel thinks was aimed at her for Tuesday morning commuters to see.
The story didn't contain a photo of the sign, lest more sensitive readers would take offense, so we are left wondering what exactly it said.
Hmmmm... a three word message... Perhaps the hacker was responding to the mayor's earlier message. If that is the case, I imagine that the sign was flasing "Fuck you, bitch!"
Tee hee! I wish I could have seen it, but I suppose it is only a matter of time before someone tries something similar in this area.
