Who lets these ‘fails’ through? Clearly who ever did that did not read the flipping picture.
This is no fail, just as so many other things on this site lately.
Sorry to bother all of you, but you forgot the “overpopulation problem”.
In near future attack of hungry people may look like today’s (movie) attack of zombies.
Who would you protect, when people are on both sides?
I’m not laughing at all.
Ya – and don’t forget the “nuclear problem” in Northern Japan – I bet ya Godzilla is growing every day and will attack Tokyo, New York, London, Paris — everywhere —we are all going to die….
It was a joke, not really a “concerned citizen” as they were thinking about doing a zombie parade in the town. It a good job the council took it in there stride though. I agree more of a win then a fail.
Things to do for a zombie invasion: Panic
Go to a gun store: go rambo on zombies while you run for a snow plow: lower snow plow: then massacre hordes of zombies with the snow plow while you have a friend shoot the smarter zombies: other options, go BP on there ass (Oil leak near a crowd of zombies and start smoking)
Can you please let us know what provisions you have in place in the event of a zombie invasion? Having watched several films it is clear that preparation for such an event is poor and one that councils throughout the kingdom must prepare for.
Freedom of Information requests to public bodies, by British law, have to be replied to unless they fall into a limited number of exceptions. The only one relevant to this is that it’s a security matter. Basically, if the council thought there was any real security risk from zombies, we’d know because the question could not legally have been answered in that case.
This is correctly labelled as a fail; I’m moving away from Leicester precisely because of the Labour council’s lack of preparation for the inevitable zombie apocalypse. This is why everyone should have voted Monster Raving Loony Party in the council and mayoral elections last month. They had a zombie plan!
Hehe, i already moved away from Leicester to Loughborough.
Though i do have to say that i moved before it came out that
the LCC was not prepared for the zombie outbreak and thus
putting our lives in danger.
Well, the thing is that as Loughborough is so full of students, and students + exams = zombies, so i have just survived a zombie outbreak and survived it successfully and that is telling me that the university and the Charnwood DC have already worked something out.
In the US-of-by-God-A, we are so prepared for a zombie attack that it won’t even be funny when we’re laughing at all of your dead crumpet-eating zombie corpses.
Oh yeah! OH YEAH!? We had one plucky Brit take on an entire city full of zombies with nothing more than a cricket bat, an overweight best friend, his love interest, a pair of reluctant associates and his mother.
Uhhh…legitimate concern fail? I don’t think so…I think someone needs to pay a visit to cracked.com and view the article “6 reasons a zombie apocalypse could happen.”
this is interesting because the rock and metal festival Download was being held between 10th and 12th of June in the nearby Donington Park- which coincindentally featured a zombie themed dress-up day on the 10th, and a headline performance from Rob Zombie on the 12th
I just realised my council is unprepared for zombies, aliens, meteorites, Godzilla, or the possibility that Earth is actually a giant egg for a space-monster, and will one day crack open.
Well it sure has taken alot of lives in the movies. Prehaps this should be thought about. <— Sarcastic font.
Yeah. They should really give this great consideration!
That is of great concern!
I think you guys should actully pour sugar on some cheese and then eat it, before you diss it. It is yummy
I bet it IS great. What kind of cheese do you recommend?
Motsorella (spelled correctly) goes well with sugar.
Thanks for the great tip, penguin!
A fail? I think you misspelled “win”.

This is a mock fail, which is as good as.

The only fail here is that they weren’t prepared for a zombie outbreak.
crap i wanted to comment that lol
I think that was the point…

Am i the only one who desperately wants to read the whole zombie letter that was sent in?? i must know if my town is also in need of zom-proofing.
The letter is included with the story – http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-leicestershire-13713798
BARHAH!!

Okay, here it is Emily,
Zombie letter in full.
Dear Leicester City Council,
Can you please let us know what provisions you have in place in the event of a zombie invasion? Having watched several films it is clear that preparation for such an event is poor and one that councils throughout the kingdom must prepare for.
Please provide any information you may have.
Yours faithfully,
Concerned Citizen

… Come to think of it, there may be more zombies working in Local Authority offices than there are out on the streets.
Actually, if you read the story you’d discover the council only replied because they found it so damn hilarious.

I think the CDC had something about this a while back. It advised people to have a preparedness kit in case of a zombie attack.

Now you need to check with Charnwood DC. Just to be safe
Well, the thing is that as Loughborough is so full of students, and students + exams = zombies, so i have just survived a zombie outbreak and survived it successfully and that is telling me that the university and the Charnwood DC have already worked something out.
Leicester also has a university – maybe theirs doesn’t have such a close collaboration with the council.
Well, there are 2 universities actually so that surely hinders
the collaboration with the city council.
No, they should have voted for the Campaign for Undead Rights and Equality.
Oh Leicester, why does this not surprise me? No wonder i want to move away from this city…
Fail?! What the hell? THIS IS NOT A FAIL! This is something we all have to worry about!
Wacky? Made us laugh? Wtf? They should take this more serious.
I think this “citizen” has played call of duty black ops far too many times.
28 days later………
Me thinks you are a little premature. U sir are 26 days to early!!
this men is zombie ? handsome
You poor Brits.
In the US-of-by-God-A, we are so prepared for a zombie attack that it won’t even be funny when we’re laughing at all of your dead crumpet-eating zombie corpses.
It’s funny because it’s true.
We have guns out the wazoo!
Oh yeah! OH YEAH!? We had one plucky Brit take on an entire city full of zombies with nothing more than a cricket bat, an overweight best friend, his love interest, a pair of reluctant associates and his mother.
So yeah, what do you say to that, huh?
Lol! Good movie, but he kinda failed to take on the whole city full of zombies and all his friends died/turned into zombies…
Successful Troll is Successful.

Thank goodness I wasn’t there… I would have died of fright! I am terrified of graveyards, mortuaries…you name it. Darn you George Romero!!!
Zombies are lame.
(and fictional, but shhhh, most of the internet is based around pretending they’re real).
Zombies are still cooler than sparkly vampires though.
hahahahahahahahaha
I just realised my council is unprepared for zombies, aliens, meteorites, Godzilla, or the possibility that Earth is actually a giant egg for a space-monster, and will one day crack open.
Wow, this is obviously a WIN. The only FAIL is that this is being a FAIL.
Trolled.
This could actually be a honest threat.. all it takes is a virus to evolve like rabies then Left 4 Dead becomes a reality
It’s prague!
Of course it’s legitimate!
Right now I think a zombie attack is about the only thing that could save Leicester.
If zombies took over Leicester, how would anyone know?
I’ve been there, I thought WAS colonized by zombies.
Sometimes I get very anxious at the idea that people in charge start to take this senario seriously.
Right, let me get something straight – this “zombie invasion” is just a festival when you dress up as a zombie. Calm down people.
