Given the seemingly endless public appetite for Anti-Zombie media it was only a matter of time before Facebook, the world’s natural home for all ugly trends in technology, would find a way to jump on the bandwagon:

Digital Chocolate, a leader in social games across growing platforms, today announced the launch of Zombie Lane™ on Facebook, a fun and hilarious take on Zombie games gone social. The game is currently recruiting brave players in the quest to defend and take back control of their neighborhood from the endless waves of zombies.

“Zombies continue to be an incredibly popular theme in games and movies,” said Marc Metis, President of Digital Chocolate. “We’ve set out to create the first great Zombie game on Facebook (News – Alert).”

‘Endless waves’ and the need to ‘take back control’ of your neighborhood, eh? If you just substitute the word ‘Irish’ for ‘Zombie’ and change the setting back a century we could have a period drama going! Think ‘Gangs of New York’ only with more mouse clicks and fewer stylish costumes.

Uggh. This could end up the next Farmville, couldn’t it? It could grow like a digital cancer, spreading time-devouring Anti-Zombie hate across the virtual world.

A terrifying prospect to be sure. I have a Facebook account for the ZRC, so this may bear further investigating. Perhaps I can even undermine their indoctrination from within?
