Zombie invasion or just Conference?
A citizen, who implored the Salt Lake City Council to prepare for a zombie attack, has triggered a frenzy of concern across the Web.
Here's how the Tribune's Derek Jensen reported the ominous warning that came April 1, following a discussion of Downtown's sprawling City Creek overhaul:
Wesley Wyndham-Price calmly stood before the City Council, cautioning members about downtown's derelict emergency-preparedness plan. City elders are "insouciantly" unaware of risks to City Creek Center, he warned.At fark.com fear was palpable as more than a hundred comments gushed in:
City Creek needs an emergency-preparedness plan, he demanded, against zombies.
"Zombies are fierce," he said as a crammed council chamber laughed nervously. "They are going to catch us in there."
They often times mock the guy who tries to warn the general population but when the zombies come, everyone comes flocking to him to save them. Or the zombies are a metaphor, what could be thought of as mindless brain dead humans in Utah?
And:
Many offered nuts-and-bolts advice:Does this have ANYTHING to do with Mr. Heston dying?
People joke around about the coming zombie apocalypse, but it's no joke.Another in-the-know poster offers:
I for one have my rifle, my .40 cal pistol and my Lobo handy. I'm prepared. Are you? No?
Just be sure to shoot them in the head, or decapitate them. Oh yeah, salt. You gotta carry salt so you can put a protective ring around you so you can keep shooting.But most posters expressed straight-forward awe of a prank well played:
Trust me on this, it's important.
Well done Mr. "Wyndham-Price," whoever you really are....Wesley Wyndham-Price, I owe you a beer.
