So, Hollywood and the video game industry have made zombies the ultra-cool monster of the day. On one hand this is a good thing because it takes attention away from the egregious error they made by taking one of the greatest, most time-honored evil creature, the vampire, and turned him into a brooding, emo teen that won't kill and in fact, sparkles in the sunlight.What the hell were they thinking in THAT one? On the other hand, filling the entertainment world with zombie lore seems to have had an unexpected side effect. Actual "Zombie" attacks! I fully realize that the incidents in question have been largely attached to extreme drug use, most recently with a new drug euphemistically called "bath salts" , sometimes mixed with other drugs like meth or alcohol, but I submit to you that there is damn little difference between an actual zombie eating your face, and a crazed drug addict eating your face, when it comes right down to it.
The world is fast becoming a very strange place. The street drugs are getting stronger and weirder, and if you watch your zombie flicks, all of the epidemics start out with a few isolated incidents, which receive a lot of coverage to quickly explain the cause so that the Armageddon mongers don't start announcing the end of the world on the street corners. I don't know if there is a real Zombie Apocalypse coming or not, but a few boxes of shotgun shells in the house are not going to be in anyone's way. I have 2 shotguns, 3 rifles and 6 swords. I also have the high-ground. I am thinking rocket propelled grenades might be fun, and a flame thrower would be an awesome father-son project for me and my boy Victor!
