A zombie plague is spreading across America, and NPR is on the scene. A plague of fake free WiFi hot spots, that is.
NPR has the Gothic language down:
[T]he network continues to spread across the country like something from a horror movie — the kind "where a zombie takes a hold of one person, bites them and they become infected by this zombie virus."
The open and mysterious origin is nice:
No one knows for sure where Free Public WiFi began. One theory, Wright says, is that someone may have set it up as a joke. It might have been created to trick a friend into connecting "so he would get a Web page with some kind of a gross image or childish prank."
Will NPR expand its use of fearsome digital media rhetoric, or is this just a Halloween seasonal thing?
