Will 'Zombie Apocalypse' Campaign Actually Work for Disaster Preparedness?

This is as stupid as giving superhero capes to the unemployed. Has America truly become this ignorant?

Getting noticed, anyway =] And by the way, awesome Xxx

It's stuipd. Makes em wonder how much pot those people at the USCDC are somking

You can't prepare for Zombies. Or, can you?

many people like zombies [i am not one of them], so maybe this will make them pay attention. just don't give the zombies candy--it makes them go berserk!

i hpoe it fails

I think at the very least it will get some attention. People pay attention to viral campaigns for movies, so why not put a twist on this.

If at the end of the day more people are informed on how to stay safe and cool headed in a crisis situation, I'm all for it. That being said, a shotgun works better on a Zombie than it does on a hurricane, so hopefully the CDC will tweek a few things to make its campaign more relevant to the hurricane side of things.

I don't know if it will work, but I love the ad campaign idea. Can't wait to see the commercials. Go zombies!

what a waste of money! nothing you can do will make the stupid people leave their homes when evacuation is recommended...those with common sense already have a preparedness plan. FAIL

Oh ! I thought this headline was about Democratic voters !

I have weapons. BRING IT ON!

The zombie preacher$ that come up with thi$ zombie crap, zombie rapture hoax,that know nothing about the word of God, will once again "make void the word of God with their traditon$ of men." Once again, they get egg on their face and embarra$$ true Christians with their mythology.

Umm, from what I could understand from your post, it seems like you don't believe in zombies. Well, I hate to break it to you, but not only do they exist, but they are biblically endorsed. They are in Ezekiel 37: 1-14.

No you are wrong; I do not believe in preachers that distort the word of God; there is no rapture, the anti-Christ comes first which hasn't happened. These phoney (zombie) preachers "make void the word of God with their traditions of men." They run people away from God with these phoney predictions and their false doctrine; make all TRUE believers look bad.

Just out of curiosities sake did you even look up the scripture I gave?

When you read the book of the prophet Ezekiel you have to know that chapter, what is it 32 or 35, from that point on is millineum; hasn't happened yet. Only pertains to "The Lord's Day" which a day with the Lord is as a thousand years to man ans a thousand years is as one day". If you are talking about the dead bones, that is not literal, it is figurative. The dead bones are people that didn't make the grade; never knew God's word. Ezekiel is to teach them (dead bones) so that they may live and when Ezekiel began to teach them little by little they grew in the Word of God until they were whole. I studied the ancient hebrew, aramaic, five chaldee dialects, and greek from which the bible was interpreted with scholars that took me into great detail.

i think you're overreacting a bit. should francis ford coppola rename "Apocalypse Now" because it might upset some nutty Christians? relax, honey; God is not this humorless creep you've made Him out to be. He created Lewis Black, George Carlin, that Dawn of the Dead director--George Romero!--all kinds of interesting people.

Apocalypse is greek for revealing, revelation; not some nuclear holocaust or some world wide simultaneous cataclysmic disaster; God is coming her to set his kingdom, why would He destroy it? Of course He has a sense of humor; one time He appeared as just the "HAND" writing on a wall; one time He gave hemrhoids to Israel's enemy in battle; one time He ordered all the combatant enemies to be circumcized as adult men, while they were hurting they lost the battle. A deep study into the ancient languages which the ancient manuscripts are written shows that most often the word "WORLD" or the word "EARTH" is an eon of time, an age of time not the terra firma itself. There was an end of the world(eon of time) before now when the dinosaurs all dropped dead in their tracks. There is another end of the world (age of time) which revolves around the events in Jerusalem. Israel was overtaken by enemies 5 times in history and regained independance in 1949; the 6th time it is overtaken will be the last. Keep your eyes on Jerusalem and Israel; IT'S IN THE NEWS . Hope that helped you.

the zombie apocalypse is coming! be prepared!
If you have no zombie plan, you WILL be eaten!

NO. Especially if they live in New Orleans.

but it's good for a laugh!

I doubt it, but will be interesting to see what happens. At the least, there should be some entertaining commercials coming our way!

Is this they best you can do?

Good one, whitewulf. :)

ANOTHER DIVERSION WHILE ISRAEL IS THREATENED !

The Government is grasping at straws... those yo-yo's will never do anything right.. they are like the U.S. Calvary, always coming in after-the-fact.

there aint no way in hell it will happen

PREPARE FOLKS!!!!!!! THEY SAID IT'S GOING TO BE THE WORST HURRICANE SEASON EVER!!!!!!!

(Wait, they said that last year... and come to think of it, the year before that, and the year before that, and the ye.......)

I know right? Hurricanes were supposed to get worse after Katrina. Still waiting. However I do suspect that because of the crazy winter in the north, we'll get a pretty decent hurricane season this year.

Yes. If being prepared for a hurricane includes body armor and a Mossberg 12 Guage.

your joking right???

but it would be loads of fun to participate in :)

I think this is stupid.

Nope. I love monsters, science fiction, horror and zombies just as much as the next guy but most people don't or will not take this seriously, take it as a joke and will totally miss what the CDC is trying to accomplish with this campaign. I think the whole thing is actually a lot of run though, and that's only because I know what it is about. I have different opinions on zombies though. I do believe something like a "zombie apocalypse" could actually heppen though. If you watch the movie, "The Crazies", while the infected people were not true zombies according to the definition, they were crazed, murderous creatures that acted a lot like zombies. With all the bioweapon research actually going on covertly in the U.S. and around the world, an accident is bound to happen some day i.e.--- Resident Evil or The Stand.

no but you should ask them, they should already know this

Way too much Hollywood.

Obviously just a cover-up for when O-Zombo unleashes his REAL Zombie army.
