Let's pretend for a moment that zombies are real (as if half of you weren't already daydreaming about that very thing). Have you noticed how most zombie movies take place only after the apocalypse is in full-swing? By the time we join our survivors, the military and government are already wiped out, and none of the streets are safe.
There's a reason the movie starts there, and not earlier. It's because the early part, where we go from one zombie to millions, doesn't make any sense. If you let the creeping buzzkill of logic into the zombie party, you realize the zombies would all be re-dead long before you even got a chance to fire up that chainsaw motorcycle you've been working on. Why?
#7.They Have Too Many Natural Predators

Do you know why we, as humans, are at the top of the current food chain? Not because we're hard to kill (well, with the exception of Steven Seagal). We're not; we're little more than tasty flesh bags waiting for an errant horn or claw to spill our guts like a meat pinata. No, we're on top simply because we are so absurdly good at killing things ourselves. A good offense, as they say, is the best de-LOOK THERE'S A DUCK! MURDER IT!

We are simply too smart and too well-armed for any wild animal to hunt. Now consider the poor zombie. It lacks every single advantage that has kept humanity from being eaten to extinction. It wanders around in the open, it can't use weapons, it can't think or use strategy. It doesn't even have the sense of self preservation to run hide when it's in danger. And, it's made entirely out of food. It's easy prey for any animal that wants it.
If you're saying, "Sure, but it's not like my city is full of bears that can come eat all the zombies," you need to think smaller. Insects are a major pain in the ass for living humans, and in some cases, being able to swat away flies and having an immune system is the only thing keeping us from having our eyes and tongues eaten out by maggots. Zombies in any part of the world with a fly problem are going to be swarming with maggots in short order, meaning that most of their soft tissues will be infested, and their eyes will be very quickly useless.
Not so disgusting now, are they? OK, yeah, but show a little respect.
We'll scale up a bit: In America alone, we have bears, wolves, coyotes and cougars, all of which can put well-armed, thinking, fast-moving humans on the menu, if the conditions are right. To most predators, the "right conditions" are when the animal is weak or infirm, or otherwise generally unable to defend themselves, like a walking corpse. Hell, just think of the millions of stray dogs out there who'll quickly learn that zombies are an easy meal.
Now imagine zombie hordes wandering Africa. Between lions and cape buffalo (and hippos, and rhinos, and elephants), we'd finally have a disease that Africa is better suited than the rest of the world to defend itself against.

You are one dumb plagiarist. In case anyone didn’t guess from the links at the bottom, this was stolen from Cracked.com.
lol read the title of the post dumbfuck i gave them credit
What about running zombies who aren’t really dead, just diseased? Kind of like in 28 Days Later. Harder to shoot, won’t rot, vomiting blood at people, etc.
then i guess we are fucked. lol i think this is more to deal with the “undead” zombies
So, copying and pasting copyrighted material is okay as long as you put the name of the author next to it? Oh wait, you put the name of the website that ran it, but not the guy who actually wrote it (me).
Either way, it's copyright infringement, dude. That would be like printing and selling your own copes of War and Peace but claiming the copyright holder had nothgin to complain about because you put "Leo Tolstoy" on the cover.
ok EVERYONE and Mr. David Dietle! i added credit directly to you at the top of the post. what else do u want from me? you want me to come over there and shake ur god damn hand, kiss ur feet, back massage, or cheeseburger and a milkshake? im not gunna take it down if thats what ur thinking. its the fucking internet dude, theres a free flow of information here. its not like i posted Pride and Prejudice in its entirety. its A FUCKING ARTICLE! get over it. its a well written and entertaining article that I thought needed to be reposted so more people would read it. sorry if it looks like i was tryin to take credit for it, that wasn't my intention. your acting like im some kind of sneaking thief breaking in your house and taking little shits in all of your cereal boxes. im just a regular dude running a blog as hobby in my spare time and sometimes when i find cool shit i repost it on my site. its not like i have this massive audience of people that visit my site. im like a tiny spec in the middle of the asshole of the internet. if showing people shit that you think is cool is a crime then i am the fuckin devil. now please get off my back and quit acting like a bunch of damn babies
Give this a read; hopefully it will change your outlook on the internet and copyright law:

It is the internet, and it is still copyright infringement. It is Cracked.com's intellectual property, and you have no more right to copy and paste its entirety on your site than you do ripping a DVD of a movie and posting it for free. Go ahead and do that to a movie Fox owns and see how many lawyers you get emails from.
No one is trying to call you an asshole, I was just pointing out what you are doing is illegal just about everywhere but Singapore. The fact that you are getting pissed off implies that you know on some level that you did wrong, otherwise you would not be getting defensive. I was trying to gently hint that maybe you should pull it, but no doubt Demand media will stumble over it at some point and insist less politely.
I have had plenty of people call me an ignorant cockburger over that article, but at least they linked to it. Fair use would let you copy some of it to comment on it (or me for that matter), but copying the entire article is not covered, and is illegal.
hows that? it is now only a partial post with a link to cracked at the end. so.. please stop treating me like im a thief. geez man yall act like im sittin here printing out your article and selling it on the street. if anything im spreading it around so more people read your work. so please get off my back, all i want to do is show people stuff i think is cool. so if anything that should be a compliment so i don't understand why you would treat a fan like a dick.
He's right, brah.. you don't understand copyright laws at all. There is an infamous story of a woman who did this sort of thing, then when she got flamed, tried to say that anything published on the web was "public domain" .. she was then super-flamed for being a fucking moron. Please don't go that route, as it seems you're steering in that direction.. nowadays, the internet is almost more sensitive to copyright infringement scrutiny than print.
oh lol.. dude cited that story already.
