Nearly 10 000 people dressed up in zombie gore and wandered through Mexico City this weekend, in a bid to set the new world record for zombie walks, which is a thing. Once verified by Guinness, the walk will blaze past the previous record of 4 093 zombies, set in New Jersey last year.
What’s odd, though – I mean, besides the part about 10 000 people dressing up with fake blood and gore and knocking about Mexico City for a weekend – is that the BBC is reporting that the walk had something to do with economic austerity – in particular, that
the event was for fun and came as a break from day-to-day economic stress.
It is a little unfair that 1% of the zombies get 99% of the braaains.
