This time a graph on what people will do in the supposed Zombie Apocalypse.

Now, seriously. What is with the Zombie Apocalypse? Even with other hated-and-feared subgroups of humanity we rarely see talk of an Apocalypse.

Well, ok. Perhaps the Black Helicopter crowd talks about some kind of crazy anti-White Apocalypse, I don’t know. Still, in wider society, or even just within the horror community, there’s a fixation on the idea that, if there are Zombies, there must be an apocalypse. It doesn’t make sense to me.

We don’t see talk of a Vampire Apocalypse, or a Werewolf Apocalypse. And Living people would never tolerate this meme applied to themselves. Can you imagine the outrage if someone was going around talking about the Hispanic Apocalypse? How about a WASP Apocalypse, where mayonnaise supplies run dangerously low and polo shirts are nowhere to be found?

Yeah. Scary, I know.
