2013: Zombies Hijack The Steve Wilkos Show
Folks in a Montana suburb were watching an episode of the popular Steve Wilkos Show when suddenly an alarming emergency scrawl appeared at the bottom of their screens: the dead had risen out of their graves and were now roaming the streets “attacking the living.” The prompt advised that people shouldn’t try to apprehend these “dangerous” undead individuals.
As it turns out, the towns’ emergency broadcasting system had been hacked by an unnamed source. It wasn’t the only one, either—pretty soon, multiple emergency broadcasters in Michigan were reporting a similar situation, with their own zombie warnings cropping up during afternoon broadcasts of Barney, of all things. The two stations reported at the time that the attacker had been traced to an “overseas source.” No word on whether that source was a zombie themselves.
