Zombie Apocalypse: CDC Denies Existence Of Zombies Despite Cannibal Incidents

[iatrogenicmyth]

The horrific face-eating arrest in Miami and several other seemingly subhuman acts has many people wondering what's behind this flesh-munching wave of terror.

A zombie apocalypse, however, is not what we should be worried about, at least according to the federal government.

Didn't they make the Zombie site like a year or two ago, as a joke? I'm more disturbed that they had to issue a statement about all the cannibalism and stuff. :/

[odette_river]

Yeah, it was sort of half-joke, half-advice about how to prepare for disasters in general.

[gargoylekitty]

I figured they did it kinda in the same sense of the Zombie Squad, using a pretend threat/joke to teach preparedness.

[gargoylekitty]

Yeah, it's at least a year old and I don't think the blog part being down has anything to do with this either since I'm pretty sure that went down awhile ago.

Not sure how I feel about them making a statement on current events though, am I out of touch enough that they really did need to say it?

why are people being such assholes about these murders? ffs...

I'm just gonna leave this here:

4 Ways the Face-Eater Zombie Craze Proves the Media's Broken

Agreed. There was an article in The Examiner entitled "Did the CDC Really Have to Reassure the Public About a Zombie Apocalypse?" or something like that

My God, I want to make love to this article! This is all the things I said in the last post, but in such a better way (i.e. with humor and without having a complete fit).

What is worse, is I've seen some news sites pick up cannibalism stories that are YEARS old and are now reporting on them alongside the recent stories making readers think that it all IS happening right now because they aren't taking the time to research further. It is sick and disgusting and really makes me hate the media more than I already do.

cracked being the one pointing out people are being horrible is surreal.

No img src linking to this one, I guess.

Hahahaha! It's funny because a person was left horribly mutilated.

That meme predates all the stuff that's gone down by at least a month. I've watched it evolve on tumblr.

Sort of OT but last night I was talking to my husband about how people "hack" into others facebooks and change their pictures and post silly comments. I waited for my husband to get off of facebook and logged into his account changed his picture to a zombie and then posted the comment "Hey guys just wanted to let you know I'm a zombie now. I know the CDC says we don't exist but we do and I'm coming for your braaaainnnnsss"

*falls the hell over laughing*  How did he react?  Amused minds gotta know   :-D

[ahzuri]

He laughed and said "Are you kidding me!" he loves Zombies and was like "Stay off my facebook" to which I told him I couldn't help myself!

XDDDDD That's awesome!!!
