The latest in public fear-mongering.
According to this site - which is identical to the BBC news website - the Swine Flu Virus has mutated and restarts the infected victims heart after passing away, and due to a chemical released into the blood and severe brain damage causes them to go into an intense rage.
Very 28 Days Later like there.
An obvious hoax, but still quite a good one considering you have to either:
A) Have common sense and look at the URL
Or
B) Look at the source code of the site which says:
A ha! So you know to look at the source code! Yes, this is a slight play off of the old Cambodian zombie story that was originally an april fools joke which can (not) be found at:
http://65.127.124.62.wstub.archive.org/south_asia/4483241.stm.htm (no longer works, you'll have to use archive.org).
Just made a few changes to fit the current news, changed the date, and that's aboot it. This was originally intended as a simple joke among friends. Honestly, this swine flu virus has been blown way out of proportion, and I think we're all a victim of a world of high school students, looking for the latest gossip or car crash.
You can find a snopes article that verifies this is a false news story here: http://www.snopes.com/humor/iftrue/zombies.asp
Well, i knew someone would do it.
