The Internet is full of tutorials on how to hack road signs, and it appears some people are putting them to good use. The latest incident occurred in Florida, where a portable traffic sign was hacked to display “Smoke weed erryday.”

According to the Orlando Sentinel, a number of people stopped to take pictures of the hacked sign. One individual who passed by said his brother was the one responsible for the prank.

While hacked road signs that read “zombies ahead” are common, some pranksters are more original.

Back in April 2012, a road sign from Provo, Utah, was altered to display “God hates gays.” In Anchorage, Alaska, someone wrote “Impeach Obama” on a traffic sign.

Experts have often warned that these signs are fairly easy to hack into, especially since in many cases their control panels are not properly protected.
