If it's such a bs thing, then why would the cdc tell people to prepare for one?
The idea behind the campaign stemmed from concerns of radiation fears following the earthquake and tsunami that rocked Japan in March. CDC spokesman Dave Daigle told FoxNews.com that someone had asked CDC officials if zombies would be a concern due to radiation fears in Japan and traffic spiked following that mention. "It's kind of a tongue-in-cheek campaign," Daigle said Wednesday. "We were talking about hurricane preparedness and someone bemoaned that we kept putting out the same messages." While metrics for the post are not yet available, Daigle said it has become the most popular CDC blog entry in just two days. "People are so tuned into zombies," he said. "People are really dialed in on zombies. The idea is we're reaching an audience or a segment we'd never reach with typical messages."

I would keep a stash of vicks inhalers. They're similar to something air force pilots keep in their kits. If you were to break two open and mix into a drink, you could stay awake for several days or run a marathon.

Actually a zombie apocalypse is possible and there are scenarios that can cause such an event. An easy example is imagine if the rabies mutates or becomes weaponized. People would be going mad and spread more infections by biting each other. True the "zombies " would be attacking each other just as much as they would be attacking normal people but if they form a pack mentality it would look almost like a typical zombie apocalypse.
