Not Available Lead

It's too bad that Juliet Starling attends San Romero High School. Too bad for the people of Montana at least. People of Montana would have been devoured whole sale if the dead had actually risen from their graves.

The emergency broadcast system interrupted the Steve Wilkos Show (we've never heard of it either) in rural Monatana yesterday. Instead of announcing the weekly tornado stampede, the broadcast took the time to announce that the zombie-pocalypse had begun. "Dead bodies are rising from their graves" was plainly announced by clever hackers that managed to break into the KRTV system in Great Falls, Montana.

The station quickly released an apology and a clarification that daytime television viewers were not about to be torn limb from limb in their homes.

"Someone apparently hacked into the Emergency Alert System and announced on KRTV and the CW that "dead bodies are rising from their graves" in several Montana counties.

This message did not originate from KRTV, and there is no emergency.

Our engineers are investigating to determine what happened and if it affected other media outlets."

Comforting. Nothing like that caring bedside manner to reassure us that we don't have to head down to the arsenal.
