'The Walking Dead' Zombie Piggy Bank Will Eat All Your Money

Big Bad Toy Store has just put up a pre-order listing for a The Walking Dead Vinyl Zombie Bust that does double duty as a gruesome piggy bank

Released by Diamond Select, this 8-inch vinyl bank depicts a rotten walker in which you can store all your lose change via a slot on his back. Looming over the comic's logo, this zombie piggy bank looks pretty awesome indeed.

Naked Man Shot After Allegedly Eating Victim's Face and Hand

I'm not the kind of person who thinks the zombie apocalypse is actually going to happen, but if I were that kind of guy then I would be looking this story and screaming "ZOMBIES ARE REAL!" all up and down the street.

Headline from the Huffington Post yesterday:

Naked Man Allegedly Eating Victim's Face Shot And Killed By Miami Police

Okay, that sounds suspicious. 

In short, Miami Police have shot and killed a naked man they found fighting with another man. The naked man was chewing on the victim's hands and face. And the cannibal wasn't stopped by being shot once; after refusing to cease, he had to be shot multiple times. 

Now, if that doesn't sound like the type of story we'd see if a real zombie apocalypse was happening, I don't know what does. 

Read the full story for yourself. Are zombies already here?

Can You Outlast, Outrun, and Survive to be the Ultimate Zombie Warrior?

Think you have what it takes to survive a grueling 5K obstacle course ridden with zombies?



Then you might just have what it takes to survive the ULTIMATE ZOMBIE WARRIOR obstacle course run taking place Sept 1 at the Château de Pique Winery in Seymour, IN.

The Ultimate Zombie Warrior course offers military-inspired obstacles designed to test your endurance, strength, and stamina. Not only do you have to dodge aggressive zombies along the way who want to infect you (i.e. take your flag) and take you out of the race, but after each wave begins, you will also be pursued by "Chaser Zombies" that will hunt you all the way to the end of the course.






Surviving the course is one thing, but if you want to walk away with the title of ULTIMATE ZOMBIE WARRIOR, you will have to be the first from your wave to cross the finish line with at least one flag. Then you will compete against the other 15 top finalists and try to survive with 16 of the toughest "Chaser Zombies" on your tail.

Sound too grueling? Then why not come as a spectator or vendor? There will be plenty to see and do besides running for your lives at the Ultimate Zombie Warrior. Come for the race but stay for the live entertainment, vendors, after-party, and camping.

Attack of the Zombie Food Truck: Pho Junkies Invades D.C.

In the post apocalyptic wasteland of D.C., a lone group of food warriors race past the hordes of zombies milling in the streets in search of survivors -- survivors hungry for Vietnamese pho soup!

At least, this is the imagined concept behind PHO JUNKIES, a food truck owned by Woo Jin Lee and Luan Vo of Virgina.

As described in this article by Jessia Sidman for Washingtoncitypaper.com, PHO JUNKIES serves vietnamese soup out of a truck painted up to look like an armored survival vehicle (ala. Dead Reckoning from Land of the Dead) with The Walking Dead-themed bumper stickers and other zombie pop culture iconography. They tweet about their customers as "survivors" and promises food "better than brains."

To find out where PHO JUNKIES will strike next in the Washington, D.C area, follow them on Twitter @PhoJunkies and like the Pho Junkies Facebook Page. Also visit www.phojunkies.com.
