I've been keeping up with the new zombie sitcom out on television, The Walking Dead. While the show not's the greatest thing I've ever seen, it got me thinking about the proposed zombie apocalypse. What I do like about the show is that it tries to give the most scientifically feasible explanation for zombies (which kind of works if you ignore a few rules in matters of life) and gives the zombies the classic, slow-moving attributes. I know that zombie culture is rising in popular culture which has brought me to a few thoughts:
1) I think that Santiago would be a very good city to be in if the zombie outbreak occurred. Many houses in the city have tall metal fences complete with barbed or razored wire and bars over the windows. They are already prepared to take on the walking dead and I think most of them would be very effective bunkers.
2) I don't think that a zombie outbreak would take over the world. It could take over a continent maybe, but world? No.
3) I wonder what the church's stance would be on zombies. I have half a mind to email someone about this. What's the morality of killing a zombie? Grey Area? Also, would suicide be considered okay if you were cornered and had no escape. It seems to be a strategy used in zombie avoidance - what would their position be? Which is the lesser evil? It would be great if the church released a satirical work on preparing for the Zombies but I'm sure that they would take some heat for such a publication. To be fair, they can also publish something on StarWars morality - mostly about killing aliens.
Stay care and keep a careful eye out. Remember, a head shot is the only guarantee for zombie death.
