The Haitian government takes the threat seriously enough to have a law on the books to prevent outbreaks of zombiism. No great power has done the same publicly, but one can only speculate on what plans are being hatched behind closed doors

for sure!

Zombies mean survival of the fittest & most will to do anything to survive.

Alines can use mind power, giant spider robots & acid blood.

Zombies are more of a fair fight, even if they are non-Romero fast zombies.

thought this could use a bump what w/ people eating each others' faces, brains, and heart. not to mention using their own intestines as weapons.

bath salts are clearly what all these movies & books have been predicting would kill us all.

Sorry but this is patently untrue. Some of us will be royally screwed faced with anything other than traditional zombies.

LOL my friend informed me this morning that 'bath salts' is a generic term for a number of 'bespoke' drugs sold over the Internet. What made me laugh about the American news clip I saw on Youtube was that it described it as a 'new drug' whose 'streetname' is bath salts. The newsreader also slipped at one point, calling the perpetrator 'it' rather than 'he'. I think that deep down, she wanted to believe.

"Or, I don't know, maybe I should make a hilarious meme about the time your mom died! She's probably a ghost now! Ha ha, you and your stupid ghoul mom."

Thing is, that meme wouldn't be funny. There's no way it would even go viral.
