Last Saturday I was able to watch 28 Weeks Later and was thinking what if that film took place in this country. Will there be survivors? Can we withstand a zombie infestation? It only took me 5 seconds to realize that we wouldn’t stand a chance. Why?
1. I live in a country where the former president was a former actor turned politician with no credibility to be president other than he killed a lot of bad guys in the movies he starred in. Clearly this country had been overpopulated with stupid people. We stand no chance against zombies.
2. Most Filipinos would only rely on Manny Pacquiao to beat all the zombies up. Manny wouldn’t do that. He only beats up Mexicans. He might be able to kill them by singing though.
3. Our military would be busy arresting media men and women.
4. People in Makati are busy with their own problems (coup de etat, mall “bombings”…).
5. Our tanks couldn’t even run over the main doors of a hotel.
6. You can’t stop a zombie invasion with People Power.
7. People would all be tuned in to Marimar by night time. Zombies would be chewing down their necks and they’d still be glued on the TV screens.
8. The long line at FX and Jeepney terminals would take up some valuable evacuation time.
I could think of other reasons but it’s time for me to work my ass off again. Working for the company I’m in now doesn’t make me so different from any zombie. See the irony?
In a country like the Philippines, people wouldn’t even last 28 seconds.

You miss the point – America already has a vast Zombie Population. But you’re not to blame for missing it. The vast Government/Corporate/Media conglomerate regularly ignores the Undead American population. We have no voice, no laws to protect us from the ruthless slaughter of a misguded populace.
In 2008 we’re getting the vote out – AARG (Association of Americans Risen from the Grave) is supporting electing a former president – a Zombie President to give voice to those who need it most. The Undead American.
