Junkyard Quote 5, Week 3

ZOMBIE VIRUS FUND

The World Would Be More Interesting If Zombies Existed

No more worrying about work or which movie to watch. Daily survival would be all that matters. And we’d be happier for it.

We estimate that £1 billion is needed to develop a zombie virus and make this vision a reality.
Help us by donating £2 to Amnesty International using the link below. If we reach the target, we’ll ask for our money back and develop the virus. If not, they keep it.

I think this quote from the homepage of this website goes well with my Apocalypse film class, and the idea of creating our own destruction purposefully is certainly an intriguing one that comes up in a variety of texts. Ironically, the money donated here goes to a human rights agency, but the thought of wanting to create a zombie outbreak in order to make life more interesting touches on the fascination that we have as humans with our own destruction and the end of times, especially when we cause it.
