Are Violent Video Games Adequately Preparing Children For The Apocalypse?
After all, nods to demonic infestation via the undead menace are all very well, but I feel that our video game makers are relying too much on the crutch of zombies to fulfill their supernatural liability requirements.

No, really. The damn things have the mass of a living human, remember? Try to barrel through a crowd of them and you end up crashing the car, which probably means that you’ll break a window, and then it’s all over for you, Sparky. If you absolutely can’t go around, just take your foot off of the gas pedal, get down to three miles an hour, and keep swerving the wheel left and right to sort of nudge the undead hordes out of the way. With any luck, none of them will have the leverage needed to smash the glass. With even more luck, they’ll not smell your tasty, tasty brains in the first place.

Construction signs warn of zombies
Hackers change public safety message
This is simply the sort of person that I am, and everybody around me has had to learn to accept that.

PPS: Heh. I guess that AoSHQ was saving this story for Saturday, too. Theirs have more pictures.
…actually, there’s no reason why you should be interested in that. But in the process I ran across Cracked.com’s Zombies topic page, and it’s pretty tasty, in a braaaaaaaaaiinnnnnnns sort of way. A little graphic in places, not least of which is the video where a zombie takes on a shark with martial arts moves.
No, really.
