We’ve heard some buzz about this upcoming block-party-like event in Elgin:

EVACUATION ROUTE DURING ZOMBIE ATTACK:

Elgin, Illinois – Chicago Street, between Douglas and Villa.

Entry points at the intersection of Spring and Chicago.
ZOMBIE SAFE SHELTER AREA WILL BE SUPPLIED WITH:

Bands, vendors, street performers, burlesque performance, costume contest and a special appearance by Svengoolie.

I’m not entirely sure what to make of this! On the one hand, overtly, this whole event is being staged to exclude the Differently Animated, and, apparently, stage a sort of dress rehearsal for the Zombie Apocalypse, and that’s just wrong.

On the other hand, taking a look at their Youtube promotional video, one has to wonder if the whole thing is actually a sly form of satire:

You can’t tell me that’s not at least partially tongue-in-cheek.

So which is it, Elgin? Are you having an Anti-Zombie, segregated event for the Living only, or are you subtly satirizing such events?

Inquiring minds want to know.
