'Zombie apocalypse’ trending as bad news spreads quickly
The term "zombie apocalypse" has been lighting up the internet all week and has been among the top Google trends Friday morning.
On the Web's Urban Dictionary, here's definition No. 4 of zombie apocalypse: "The End of the World, when people who have died rise again in rotten corpses searching for blood and brains to strengthen them."
While we're certain the dead are not rising, the past week has seen some of the most disturbing instances of human behavior imaginable.
Overheard on CNN.com: Are we all 'zombies'?
A man in Miami happens upon a homeless man on the sidewalk and chews off 75% of his face in an 18-minute attack. The attacker's mother later says her son is not a zombie as portrayed in the media.
Authorities in Canada have launched a massive manhunt for a suspect after a severed hand was sent to Canada's Liberal Party, a foot to the Conservatives and a torso was stuffed in a suitcase and tossed in the trash of the Montreal apartment building where he lived.
A Maryland man admits to killing his housemate, cutting him up, then eating his heart and part of his brain.
A New Jersey man rips his torso open and throws bits of his intestines at police, according to the Bergen Record.
There have been other equally grisly crimes, but there's no need to dwell on them.
Fact is, horrible crimes happen all the time.
"This is all nothing new," said Scott Talan, professor of public communication at American University, with a long work history in public relations and the media.
Bad news attracts attention, he said, and when it happens in bunches, people like to attach a name to it, hence, "zombie apocalypse."
People also like to see others in bigger trouble than they have themselves, Talan said.
"No matter how your life's going, someone's got it worse," he said.
We like to think, "I'm better off than these people," he said.
And that's nothing new, Talan said, pointing out that ancient Roman philosophers used to lament that citizens felt little for the gladiators and what happened in their gruesome contests.
But he said while these stories catch fire quickly in our wired world, they flame out quickly, too.
Unless there's another gruesome crime today, expect the zombie apocalypse to be done by next week, he said.
Even if that's the case, there may be some good that can come of the attention zombie apocalypse has drawn on the Web.
A year ago, when zombie movies were the rage, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said if it could convince the public to prepare for the zombie apocalypse, maybe they'd be better prepared for disasters more likely to affect their lives, like earthquakes, hurricanes and tornadoes, or a major pandemic.
Or maybe the Mayan apocalypse. Talan points out that it isn't real, it's just a name like zombie apocalypse.
But then again, that isn't supposed to happen until December. There's still time for that to go viral again.

Why did that man bite the face of a homeless-man in Miami? That man bit the face of a homeless-man in Miami, because he let the devil get the best of him. Amen. So sad. People, wake-up, the devil is real, and he does not take no prisoners. How do you beat the devil? You beat the devil, in, through, and by prayer. Amen. Why should you beat the devil? You should beat the devil, because if you do not beat him, then he will beat you. Amen. The Holy Church Fathers teach us how to beat the devil. They teach us to pray, "O Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me, the sinner.", continually and silently, (although you can and should pray this with your mouth as well, whenever you feel the need to, which is probably always; and, please do not be afraid to pray this with your mouth, even, no, especially before your neighbor.). What do I mean by this? What I mean by this, is that you must not let no-one, nothing, nor nobody keep you from the Jesus, not even the self of you, especially not even the self of you, because the self of you needs him more than it needs anything at any time or place, and that is forever. Amen. It also helps to swallow your pride, and we all have it, except for the Jesus, who is, was, and will always be the only prideless-one that ever walked on the planet that we are on right now. Amen. Swallow your pride, or else, your pride will swallow you. Amen. The God bless you-all with the richest blessings that he has for you-all in Christ Jesus, here, now, always, and forever, and unto all of the ages of all of the ages, amen.
Of course Zombies are real – just look at Madame pelosi...... and can we believe normal people voted the wrinkled harridan into office? The Zombie Voting Block is an important source for Liberal votes.

This was the most stupid statement on the web today. So people used to eat other people faces while crowlling around naked?
"So people used to eat other people faces while crowlling around naked?"
Um... yes. And worse.

Love how people make up personality traits about a prophet who lived over 2000 years ago...no proof; plz stick to the facts people might actually except your God when you don't prejudge everyone else- stick to tending your own backyard.
If I were two-faced, I would eat one of them.
Good one!
Start munching!!! Want a little wine to wash that down?

No, he was on drugs. Bath salts, to be exact.
Sounds like a good idea. Most people, like myself, only pray when in distress. I'll have to change my ways..........I never really thought about the Devil but now I will. Gee, what this world is coming to!!!
Your a boob.. if the devil did it GOD let it happen... Looks like GOD is the weak one here.
Go back to church and pray there!
Zeus be praised.
Zeus be praised
So what you're saying is that if pedestrians had stopped to pray as crazy guy was eating homeless guy's face, he would have magically stopped? Yeah... something tells me it doesn't work that way. Oh right, because god doesn't exist.
Pray for comprehensible grammar and the ability to structure a logical persuasive argument.....amen
While I could agree that alot of drugs seemingly are the "devil', I'm feel fairly safe in saying this dude didnt eat anothers dude face because satan made him.
I've got that joy joy joy joy down in my heart (where?) down in my heart (where?) down in my heart to stay! And if the devil doesnt like it he can sit on a tack (ouch!) sit on a tack (ouch!).....lol, classic
Why are u praying to the son of God, why not to GOD himself??
Go do your preaching elsewhere... we're not interested!
"The Devil" accepts anyone of any faith, doesn't require intolerance for admission, and has filled his home with some of the greatest men and women in history.
@tony rodolakis: Go do your preaching elsewhere! We're not interested!
Wow. I'm pretty sure it was more then likely drugs in his system causing extreme paranoia and hallucinations rather then The Devil. I do find it funny that no matter what kind of news story that is posted, somehow somebody finds a way to incorporate either God, The Devil or Jesus into it. And if we are really lucky we get all three. Religion can really take its toll on the weak minded people out there.....hence all the stories of parents killing their children because either God told them to do it or the devil was in them. You can only hear serial killers saying that they were doing " God's work" so many times.
@ Paulette how do you know God does not exist? Prove it! Oh, you want me to prove that God exists? I'll be honest. Just like you can't prove he doesn't, I can't prove that he does. But just because of that fact does not automatically mean he doesn't. We can't see the air we breathe, but we can see how it effects the things around us. Same thing with God. I can't see him. But just by my faith I can see how he has effected my life. Don't tear down other's faith just because you don't believe.
Actually, he bit the man's face off because he was using drugs that caused him to loose his mind.
Anybody with a brain can easily detect that the world is progressively getting worse. Honestly, people are resorting to eating faces and throwing their own organs at cops. This world is going to hell and whether it's a zombie apocalypse, financial collapse or the end of the world I'm stocking up on ammo, food and water. Good luck to you all.
Viva La Resistance
You obviously have no idea what has happened and was done to people in the course of human history. Worse than when??
Sammy – do know who Ed Gein is? In case you are unfamiliar, he was the inspiration for Buffalo Bill in Silence of the lambs as well as the inspiration for Leather Face from TCSM. This type of behavior isnt new or a sign of the times.
ALL JEWISH AMERICANS TURN ON C-SPAN NOW!!!!! OBAMA IS NOT YOUR FRIEND!
they need to investigate what ever drugs where in that guys system, that's the scary part to me, that there could be a stronger drug that would cause such a thing, can't all be mental illness
Tastes like chicken
dumb.
I own 12 guns: Desert Eagle .50AE, S&W .500 magnum, Glock 20 10mm, Glock 30 .45 ACP, S&W Sigma 9mm, S&W Sigma .40 S&W, Taurus pt 945 .45 ACP, Sig Sauer Mosquito .22LR, S&W Bodyguard .380 ACP, Century Arms WASR 10/63 AK-47 4.62x39mm, Mossberg 500 12 gauge shotgun, Mossberg 702 Plinkster .22LR........I'M READY FOR THE ZOMBIE'S!!!
LOL @ people who think the world is getting worse. Open a history book for once. Warriors used to use their enemies skulls as cups to drink enemy blood. The world is not getting worse,it is exactly the same as it always was. The difference is instead of "only the strong survive" like in ancient times, in modern times it is "we enable the weak"
Thank god everyone isnt a moron.
So true at every fundemental lvl.
are there infinite ammo codes for the apocalypse?

Religion has never helped anyone in this world because it's merely fiction. And until humans quit believing in fiction, wackos like this guy will continue to multiply. After all... look at the Bible.
Yeah the Bible is one of the greatest horror stories I have ever read. God was one ruthless dude.....slaughtering the whole world....men,women,children,senior citizens,newborns,even animals.Then you have him condoning war,human sacrifice,causing disease and plagues,slavery,womanizing and the beating and killing of children by their parents.The list goes on and on. If you really want to scare kids at night....forget The Devil and The Boogeyman.....read him some verses of the bible,especially from the Old Testament before they tried revamping his image to soften him up a little. In the immortal words of George Carlin......."But he loves you" lol
