In more light-hearted news: the Zombie Apocalypse

This is awesome

Great article.

That is a very interesting and creative way to get the emergency preparedness information to people in a way that they'll read. It was pretty awesome. :)

Still needs more mention of BOB.

They should make their zombie catching SOP public.

Anyway, this is a very good way to disseminate information about emergency preparation.

Well my preparing the last few years just become justified.

I wish they would make a "hypothetical" policy for how they, as the CDC, would deal with containment/quarantine/isolation of a zombie threat.

I want to see how far they can reach without ever referring to killing anybody.

I like cracked's idea: make it legal to shoot them and turn the rednecks loose.

Guess that makes me some kind of redneck, because I'd be overjoyed.

The United State's homeland defense: Red Necks.

Let me see if I can dig up the article.

Ah, here we go.

At least the authorities are starting to get Genre Savvy. That's a good thing. Might even mean the Apocalypse gets cancelled.

Never really been convinced by the inevitable downfall of civilisation in nearly every piece of zombie apocalypse style media. There needs to be more media like Shaun Of The Dead, in which the Army shows up right when it's bleakest for our intrepid heroes and mows the zombies down.

I've always wanted to see a zombie movie that focused on a band of intelligent survivors who did everything right. So far I've got The Walking Dead, but I really need season 2 to come out. TWD almost has it like the zombies are just in the background, like dangerous wild animals while you go camping. It's man who are the most dangerous game. :D

Hell yeah! The Walking Dead is awesome.
