ZOMBIE PREPARDNESS PLAN REMOVED FROM WEB SITE
(The Alligator)
Doug Johnson's nerdy lovechild, a Zombie Prepardness Plan added to the UF E-Learning Support Services Web site last week was taken down Thursday afternoon. According to Johnson, "UF is searching for a new Chief Information Officer (CIO) and it was felt that the plan would hamper the seriousness of the search, which is a very valid reason for removal." The plan, entitled Zombie Attack Disaster Prepardness Simulation Exercise #5, laid out plans in case of the event of a campus-wide zombie epidemic. After having garned national coverage for the plan, UF has gained much respect in the geek subculture. Like vampires, zombies are all the rage, even sparking parodies of classic novels such as Pride and Prejudice and Zombies. When you think about it, it's a pretty legitimate plan to have -- you never know you needed it until it's too late and, I don't know about you, but I'd rather know what kind of pistol to have on me to take down one of those undead suckers. While business is business, it'd be nice to know my fellow Gators are safe, too.
Edit: As a member of Theatre Strike Force, I'm also just going to go back and edit this post to include a photo of our zombie attack plan-inspired flashmob. Shameless self-promotion...alright!
