On Thursday night, motorists in downtown Los Angeles were treated to this message on a traffic sign encouraging them in no uncertain terms to pick up a goddamn book.
That the city of Los Angeles would encourage its citizens to read through the medium of traffic signs came as a surprise to many and, as it turns out, the whole thing was a result of a hack.
According to LA Weekly, the LA Department of Transportation has said that the digital traffic sign “looks like it was hacked”.
