[rebelmouse-image 24749659 original_size="431x300" expand=1]It's August. People are grumpy. It's time for extremely silly blogging based on this kick-ass article from Cracked about why a zombie apocalypse would fail. I'm a big fan of zombie apocalypse as a story, and I doubt many of these objections would reduce my enjoyment of these stories, since the answer for a lot of them is, "Magic, bitches." (Such as why zombies can fend off maggots, injury, heat, and the cold, and why zombie viruses would spread through bites.) But I have to admit, I laughed out loud for #2 and #1. Number 2 is basically, "It's not nearly as fucking hard to find zombie-proof spaces as the movies would have you believe." And number 1 touches on a reality that zombie stories basically all have to ignore.
