In the wake of a series of gory incidents, the Internet has been lighting up with claims that we are in the midst of a zombie apocalypse. Skeptical? Well, let’s take a look at the evidence from the last few weeks.
1) A naked man chewed off the face of a homeless guy in Miami. The attacker growled at police officers and continued eating skin even after being shot. It took four more bullets to kill him. 2) A Japanese artist removed his own genitals and served them at a restaurant to the highest bidder. 3) A Maryland man confessed to killing his housemate, chopping him up, and then eating his heart and part of his brain. 4) A New Jersey man repeatedly stabbed himself and then threw pieces of his skin and intestines at the police.
And that’s not all. Newsweek and The Daily Beast have compiled a “Zombie Instances” Google map, which is keeping track of these incidents and other “signs” of the zombie apocalypse -- such as the recent cases of flesh-eating bacteria.
Though many of the zombie apocalypse claims have been made in jest, the Centers for Disease Control issued a serious response. A spokesman told the Huffington Post, "CDC does not know of a virus or condition that would reanimate the dead . . . or one that would present zombie-like symptoms." So, what do you think SodaHeads? Is the zombie apocalypse upon us?

If they play god like that then yes it will be but however if they don't then safely no it's not upon us at the moment but never let your guard down because you never know if somebody is stupid enough to play god like i said and best be on our guard :)
And calling a "flesh-eating virus" doesn't make it a zombie virus. It doesn't make the infected person go after fresh meat.
Therefore, undecided.

...Oh sh*t.
2) Why would a zombie be feeding himself to others? It's generally the other way around.
3) If he was a zombie there wouldn't be a confession.
4) This is a man that is in SEVERE need of help and is very mentally disturbed.

Some of these do affect people, but it's nothing like Hollywood zombies at all.
