John Bidwell touched on this topic a couple of days ago in one of his reviews, so don’t blame me. John was right. We in this country are experiencing a serious lack of critical thinking.

The CDC recently decided to think outside of the box in their efforts to raise public awareness and preparedness for potential disasters such as hurricanes, floods and epidemics. Their rather novel solution involved the “emergency notification” of an impending Zombie Apocalypse posted on May 16th, just five days prior to Harold Camping’s infamous May 21st prediction. The only predictable outcome however was the crashing of the CDC’s servers due to excessive volume of alarmed citizens at their site. Note: I actually visited the site. It was all tongue in cheek of course.
