Swedish Zombies In Season
In one of the strangest pieces of news I’ve come across while writing for this blog, it appears that a Swedish TV channel has placed a help wanted ad looking for zombie hunters.
“We’ve had over 200 applicants,” she told The Local.
Among them are a bodyguard, soldiers, doctors and hunters - as well as one person who claims to have been seeing the living dead since childhood.
The successful applicants will take part in an expedition in the north of the country before heading to Stockholm’s Stureplan on Friday, said Holmquist.
The strange part is that, while this is obviously some sort of publicity stunt, the article seems to have been provided by a regular newsite and shows no trace of satire or explanation as to what this prank is all about. This is especially disturbing considering when you consider that, as seen above, at least one person seems to be taking this seriously.
Watch this space for reports of dead Swedes mistook as zombies in the weeks to come.
