Zombie Alerts seen on TV !!
Bogus Zombie Alerts were aired on two TV stations in Michigan's Upper Peninsula.
From the Huffington Post:
"The emergency systems for two television stations located around Marquette, Mich. were hacked Monday with fake alerts warning people of zombie attacks in various counties in the state's Upper Peninsula. The alerts appeared during programming onABC affiliate WBUP-TV and PBS affiliate WNMU-TV, the Mining Journal reports.

Hackers gained access to the stations' Emergency Alert Systems and inserted a fake scrolling civil emergency alert accompanied by a creepy audio message. Surprised listeners heard the following:
"Civil authorities in your area have reported that the bodies of the dead are rising from their graves and attacking the living. Follow the messages on screen that will be updated as information become available. Do not attempt to approach or apprehend these bodies as they are considered extremely dangerous."
Ironically, the alerts interrupted 'Barney' and 'The Steve Wilkos Show'. Lol.
The alerts air so often throughout the day, it barely caused any excitement.
