Exercise is important, and I know I personally am trying to get more. This, however, is no way to induce people to get fit:

Indie developer Six to Start and Naomi Alderman are attempting to kick start their new app, aptly titled ZOMBIES, RUN! On the surface, the fitness app can be used to record the distance, time, pace, and calories burned on your run, but the meta-game within is what ZOMBIS, RUN! is all about.

The zombie apocalypse is underway, and it’s up to you to gather resources like medicine, ammo, and batteries to help rebuild your base to prevent a resurgence of the undead. During your run, you’ll collect these items while being guided by orders and a story delivered through your headphones, avoiding zombies in the process.

No offense, but in these (highly inflammatory and unrealistic) Zombie Apocalypse scenarios, aren’t the sort of people who don’t get supplies until the Apocalypse is underway the first guys who get eaten?

Not to negate the premise or anything :D

It gets better: the game is raising funds on Kickstarter… and there’s a promotional video just laden with ugly, brain-chomping Anti-Zombie stereotypes:

The sheer enthusiasm this game’s writer shows for hating on the Differently Animated is, I must say, extremely disturbing.

Someone get that woman to calm down, would you? She’s scaring us.

Needless to say, The Zombie Rights Campaign does not encourage you to donate any money to this outright evil and odious project, or to play the final game when it is released for that matter. We suggest instead that you find a Zombie partner to go jogging with, in the spirit of fitness and of course, tolerance.
