A news story credited to the BBC reports that a new strain of the H1N1 flu virus has emerged, dubbed "H1Z1" by health authorities, or "zombie swine flu."
"After death," the article asserts, "this virus is able to restart the heart of it's [sic] victim for up to two hours after the initial demise of the person where the individual behaves in extremely violent ways from what is believe to be a combination of brain damage and a chemical released into blood during 'resurrection.'"
Entertainment Weekly's PopWatch blog labeled the story "hilarious but totally bogus," an assessment with which I was inclined to concur until I learned that an electronic road sign was spotted over the weekend in Colchester, Vermont flashing the words, "EFF SWINE FLU. ZOMBIE INVASION!!!!! TURN BACK."
Local authorities say that warning, too, is a hoax. . . but how do we know they aren't just co-conspirators in a plot to zombify the entire population of the world?

Thanks to the person who came up with that one. The world needs to laugh at the H1N1 virus for a change instead of being scared all the time.
I agree; we need to laugh, or do whatever needed to get some perspective on this, and back away from any precipices, so to speak.
I’m not *quite* convinced, though, that yucking it up by pasting it to zombie plague virus fiction is the best way to defuse the situation. Especially if the idea is to get folks to unclench.
I find this hilarious and refreshing – kind of nice to have a light-hearted display instead of all the fear-mongering going on.
Hey, Don’t dismiss this too fast.
I think that this would explain what is going on in Washington D.C.
The Congress of Clowns must have an 90% infection rate.
ya dont dismiss this too fast.
it kinda scared me a bit cause if that’s true we’ll all fall apart
by the way where did he get this stuff….
Hahaha, I laughed so damn hard when I originally drove by the sign XD
Hey Shutter, I agree with you – but I think the infection rate in D.C. is probably over 90%.
Hey! Let’s make a movie out of this.
Swine of the Living Dead
Swine of the Living Dead movie a great way to digging deeper.
That is very hilarious, people in the streets are afraid to go out. That is very funny because they think that they might get infected.
And they laughed when I read the “Zombie Survival Guide” – who’s laughing now!!! HAHA
To all those saying we need to laugh at the H1N1 virus, please realize that people are dying from this.
We don’t laugh at cancer. Unless it is really funny cancer AMIRITE?!?!
I’m surprised that Rush Limbaugh hasn’t jumped on this as an example of how the Obama administration is infecting the nation with a “zombie flu” so as to rejuvenate dead liberals who will vote for his communistic/socialistic/europinistic/environistic/vegetarianistic/etc-ianistic reelection in 2012.

lighten up, how many people have died from pig flu? 65-100 world wide? 30,000+ die each year from “regular” flu? you need to stop drinking the kool-aid the media and fear monger are handing out and look at it for what it is
LadyMathis and others.. you are welcome. I’m glad SOME people on the internet still have a bit of common sense…
Swine flu turning victems into zombies, about two hours after death… Wouldn’t they be vegetables… So we’d have retarded zombies rotting on the ground. ‘Kay then…
*Victims.
Yes, I have a thing for correcting.
If its a Zombie Apocolyps or Just another type of flu People Need to Stop Worring About Death! We all die Sometime Right!
My Point is If It Happens it Happens? And if Its just Another Case of the Cold/Flu then we can Live are Happy Lives and Wait for Something like this to Happen AGEN! so we can Worry about what will happen Next?
Just Chill People Because whatever happens Next? Happens for A Reson… My Email: An0nmy0us@hotmail.com
i hope there are zombies so i can shoot kylain in the face legit
No one is dying from H1N1 they are dying from phenomena but of course that would not sell papers or get you to turn on the news. Stop believing the stupid news feed. You can not dye from the flu you never could you dye from the complications of the flu like phenomena.
GO ZOMBIE FLU! !
im going to laugh when you all die from a zombie outbreak thanks to swine flu
Simiar sign here in Austin Tx. which read something like “Zombies coming, run for colder weather”. Very strange indeed.
zombies actually can survive most cold temps you sould read the zombie survival guide by max brooks
Here’s what happens when Swine Flu turns people into zombies:

He’s right the guide is a very good book, i actually have a copy right next to me (i own 5 copies). I dont think the flu will do it, i think obama will make a cure, but it’s not a cure it turns ppl into mind controlled zombies! Something like that. I live in sheldon VT and in a zombie invasion I would hide at BFA st albans(old highschool) the zombie guide reccomends schools,warehouses office buildings, and hospotials :^) jking never goto a hospital bad idea…. wanna talk about zombies or form a group contact meh at buzznut@ymail.com So yea…
WTFWTFWTFWTFWTF
Its all funny till someone dies. I wouldn’t doubt the government has something to do with this!!
