What is the purpose of a Zombie Virus

[7oddisdead]

I have to admit, I'm into the whole Bob Ross approach. An accident of some sort. The only issue I have with that is it smacks of Resident Evil and that pretty much turns me off. Perhaps a spontaneous genetic mutation against incalculable odds as a result of pharmaceuticals being mixed with methadone. I don't know if it would necessarily have a purpose, were that the case.

I always forget about resident evil...is that really how that went down there? Myself I'd rather see it as a good thing turned very bad..kinda along the lines your thinking.

From what I remember of the movie (not the game, mind you because I don't play video games) some jackass in a white coat knocked a vial of T-Virus(?) off a counter and... bickety-BAM! The motherfucker was rubble.

Yea...not what I was going for..more like this.

"hey look! We cured cancer!call all our labs around the globe!"

(a week later)

"you don't look so hot, why are you eyeballing me like I'm a turkey leg?"....aww..fffffffff

]all hyperbole, but hopefully makes my point[

That's the back story for "I Am Legend"! Cancer cure causes zombie-ism among the trial group, then somehow becomes airborne infecting everyone.

people look like turkey legs?...all kidding aside, to me that's far more believable than knocking over a couple vials...labcoats=antibutterfingers...ok, so maybe I'm still joking.but seriously...id love to hear of a way this could happen that has never been thought of...really...I'd love a fresh idea

Plus the outbreak seems to have happened in multiple cities. Thats a lot of clumsy lab coats.

The worst, most deadly viruses are the ones that mutate and jump species. Maybe this one started on computers, was spread via Facebook and then jumped to the human world via nerds. Think about it, the only nerd we've seen since the apocalypse was Lewis, and he was so anti-social that he probably didn't have a Facebook account.

Or one patient that travelled. Consider the film Contagion.

Ha! Internet STD's. I can see this working. Some evil corporation designs a new "interface" (hint, hint, wink, wink) to connect "you" to your computer. Then they release a computer virus to infect the world, thus resting the world.
