The horrific face-eating arrest in Miami and several other seemingly subhuman acts has many people wondering what's behind this flesh-munching wave of terror.
A zombie apocalypse, however, is not what we should be worried about, at least according to the federal government.
Over the years the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has released a couple of tongue-in-cheek "zombie warnings," which really are just disaster-preparedness stunts. But on Thursday, the agency made it official: Zombies don't exist.
"CDC does not know of a virus or condition that would reanimate the dead (or one that would present zombie-like symptoms)," wrote agency spokesman David Daigle in an email to The Huffington Post.

The media loves to stir up a frenzy from horrific unrelated incidents to make it seem like there is a burgeoning apocalypse.

(17,202 posts)I'm working on a proposal about a family of friendly zombies living in a suburb of Beaver Bend, Oregon. I figure their wild and wacky hijinks are bound for a howl a minute, especially when Zelda (the matriarch) runs for town council (this is the pilot, I haven't figured out all the details yet).
It's bound to go over better than my proposed sitcom about the Donner Party ("Donner, Party of 57!" .
