5 Reasons We’ll Be Disappointed By The Inevitable Zombie Apocalypse

4. The "Disenchanted" Youth

Chav Zombies Just because the world has gone into lockdown and infected millions are eating each other, that doesn€™t mean the Jeremy Kyle-starring scroungers and crooks are going to disappear. One hugely exciting prospect of a zombie apocalypse is having free pick of the shelves in supermarkets, more than likely planted in our heads from Zombieland€™s hunt for Twinkies. But, have you seen the scrum at the reduced aisle in your local supermarket on an average weekday? People are already turned into slobbering monsters at the thought of a freebie or a slightly-soiled bargain. Now picture the same scene when the security have had their arms bitten off by flesh-eating monsters, and all the till assistants are running riot with eyes rolled into the back of their heads. By the time you get to the 24hr Tesco, there won€™t be an exciting array of cream cakes and meats to happily munch upon as your mate flings you down aisles in a shopping trolley' you might find a bashed in tin of kidney beans, or a half-eaten banana thrown in a basket, but other than that, the shops will have been emptied by disenfranchised, disenchanted youths looking for freebies in the chaos. The London riots in 2011 displayed the exact behaviour a little unrest in our usual ordered neighbourhoods can cause: gangs of up to 200 youths looting shops, nicking bikes from Halfords and smashing through windows of Currys with 42 inch tellies. Again, it€™s the non-zombified living that are gunna dampen any kind of apocalyptic playground.
