Road Signs Warn of Zombies
Austin drivers commuting to work discovered that two road signs on a busy stretch of road were changed to warn them of imminent zombie attacks.

Zombies Are Liberals?
A writer claims that zombie movies are inherently liberal.
When the apocalypse comes and capitalism breaks down, he writes, a band of survivors has to come together and act for the collective good “if they’re going to get out of this with their brains kept securely housed in their skulls.”
This may explain why zombies are such strong proponents of a public option for health care reform and oppose the flat tax.

Humans vs. Zombies on Campus
The game Humans vs. Zombies — an elaborate adult version of tag where one person playing a zombie converts other students by tagging them — is causing newspaper writers to use an inordinate number of puns, saying the game has “invaded” college campuses and that the game is “infectious.”
