	Yeah, I was getting that too, but it's gone now. WTF? (Reply to this)

	I had it for a minute, as well as my roommate. Maybe this is the sign of the zombie apocalypse? (Reply to this)

	Yeah, this was LJ's Halloween layout. Server hiccup? (Reply to this)

	I was prowling an RP journal and randomly noticed a copyright (insert username here) thing, and the Undead thing came up. And then I logged out of that and back into my personal one, checked there, and then went back to the rp journal - and it all went away. I feel codesnafu. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	Betcha they're going to roll out a "content partnership" where SUP gets money to republish LJ posts on other sites, and they implemented the change too early by accident while tweaking code. /paranoia...but you heard it here first. shifty eyes (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	cotume27 2009-01-20 06:46 am UTC (link)
	Oh, I went there too, don't worry. And then http://news.livejournal.com/112846.html?thread=76475086#t76475086 <- That was linked in amongst the swarming paranoia in the comments on the news post. I'm being.. vaguely hopeful that someone hit "apply to all" while fiddling with something and then went "HOSHIT" and ctrl+z'ed it. Hopefully. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	But if it's only for the Russian users, why is it in English legalese? Even if it was switched to an English character set by the localization settings, it would still be Russian words. My tinfoil hat, let me show you it. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	sablemouse 2009-01-20 07:33 am UTC (link)
	It was originally conceived for Russian users, but LJ felt that they had to be equal opportunity and let anyone who wanted to try it. Hence, the English legalese. http://www.livejournal.com/support/faqbrowse.bml?faqid=286 (Reply to this)(Parent)

	I'm not getting it anymore. Timestamp on the post that had it is 1:11 AM, Eastern. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	aposiopetic 2009-01-20 06:56 am UTC (link)
	I got that too, in the entry that I was making posting about the problems I've been having with LJ (the Undead thing and some of my icons are showing weird for me, but normal for others). (Reply to this)(Parent)

	esorlehcar 2009-01-20 07:05 am UTC (link)
	I got that as well. Also "Ø The reproduction is prohibited in any form" on top of every post. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	platedlizard 2009-01-20 07:13 am UTC (link)
	Um, wow. Where'd they get that from? I just checked my profile and didn't see it. At least it looks like you have to opt in for it to take effect? (Reply to this)(Parent)

	platedlizard 2009-01-20 07:21 am UTC (link)
	Okay, according to that I should be able to see it on the Viewing Options or make a post pages, and I don't. I have my journal set to Adult content (even though it mostly isn't) so maybe that made a difference. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	aeka 2009-01-20 07:23 am UTC (link)
	I don't think so since my journal isn't set to adult content and I didn't get that either. :/ (Reply to this)(Parent)

I experienced both the permission thing and the undeadjournal thing, but here's the awesome part:

I'm roleplaying online with a friend. She's running the prologue for my character. This is a Death Knight campaign using the Exalted system, though it's set on another world. The country my character is in is presently experiencing a zombie problem.

I thought it was hilarious.

Our ST created a new world, and as part of the world-building exercise, we helped create countries and organizations. We were also instructed that all of our characters were to be rulers of nations, or heirs to becoming rulers of nations. My character is a princess whose country was seized by a staged peasant revolt, but she was locked in a tower off the coast of the ass end of nowhere for her own protection. It's fun.

	I've had weird stuff like that happen to me. Well, not exactly like that. The thing that happens to me is when I sign in, it'll show me someone else's screenname at the top and the number of messages they have. (It's always the same person, too. Batty, you apparently have 1000 messages.) (Reply to this)

	I've gotten the UndeadJournal thing a couple of times in the past, randomly, but it always went away within a few minutes. I was going back and tagging/changing security on old entries this morning and a few odd things happened, though. May just be a bad day for the code. (Reply to this)

	I remember I got this on either Christmas Eve or Christmas Day and I got a screenshot of it. It made me LOL like you wouldn't believe. (Reply to this)
