Europe Home to Majority of Zombies
Rei writes "According to a recent CipherTrust study, the majority of Zombie PCs reside not in the US or China, but in Europe. Of the European zombies, 2/3 were either in Germany, France, or Britain. The results were released with the announcement of CipherTrust's new ZombieMeter. As a response to previous reports of high zombie activity, the London Action Plan launched Operation Spam Zombies in cooperation with numerous governments around the world."
... as to where the evil clerics are.
This has been obvious to me ever since Wolfenstein 3D almost 14 years ago.
Can you hear the European Union chanting off in the distance?
We're number one! We're number one!
Voud u like to touch my zombie?
Call in Shaun of the Dead!
Ed: Any zombies out there?
Shaun: Don't say that!
Ed: What?
Shaun: The "zed" word. Don't say it!
Ed: Well... are they any?
Shaun: I don't see any. Maybe it's not as bad as all that.
Shaun: Oh, no wait, there they are.
Sometimes I doubt your commitment to Sparkle Motion.
Whether hacked computers and their clueless users or hideous undead out for brains, nothing beats the tried and true shotgun.

Fascinating. But what is a "worm" or a "virus"? Did the article define those too?
William of Ockham had no beard. The most likely explanation is that it was chewed off by squirrels every morning.
Where is this "Rest of the World" place? Is it past The Ocean, or somewhere in the suburbs? There's Northern Nowhere starting in upstate, Western Nowhere over the river, and Southern Nowhere on the other side of Jersey, so I can't think of any other places it could be. Though I suppose it could be nestled somewhere in Queens or Long Island, those are far enough out of the way to hide in. Oh, I get it, it's like those "other cities" all the teams that show up to lose to the Yankees supposedly come from. Quite a fine piece of showmanship, that "other cities" idea!
Europe Home to Majority of Zombies
Which explains the smell.
Everybody knows '28 Days Later' started out as a warning about the dangers of spam.
Cole: I see dead people... ...They don't know they're dead
Crowe: In your dreams?
Cole shakes his head
Crowe: While you're awake?
Cole nods
Crowe: Dead people like in graves and coffins?
Cole:
Crowe: How often do you see them?
Cole: everytime I go to Europe, (pause) they're everywhere...

Man. If you could go back in time to 1980 and tell everyone that in 25 years, European governments would be spearheading an initiative called "Operation Spam Zombies", and that this name was not in any way meant to be humorous, the looks on peoples faces would be priceless.
Irritable, left-wing and possibly humorous bumper stickers and t-shirts
It's true. One of them turned me into a newt!
Guns are outlawed in most of Europe, right? How will they defend themselves?
[o]_O
*gasp*. Ohhh noooosss!!! Europe may have to face up to a dirty little secret filled with horrors. That is, Europe has its fair share of stupid people too. Bwahahahaa.
I fart in your general direction.
Life is not for the lazy.
The zombies are a clear reference to the House of Lords, so the evil cleric must be the Blair Witch Project.
It's a small world and it smells funny; I'd buy another if it wasn't for the money; Take back what I paid (SoM)
... ...
I got better...
I for one welcome our new Zombie overlords.
Nah, do the real change, Replace the MS for an X in MS Windows and most of your actual problems will dissapea... well, may come others, of course, instead of being zombie you could become r00ted, 0wned or h4x0red and pass a lot of time trying to undestand what those extrange words with numbers mean.
