Ever since Night of The Living Dead zombies have been pretty popular and their number of fans have only grown over the years but I have to say, this Florida "bath salt zombie" guy has single handedly taken it to a new level. I heard on the radio yesterday that there was a ridiculous increase in zombie apocalypse related websites that started just days after the Florida attack. I wish I could remember the exact number they threw out but you can see for yourself on just about any social network. Multiple websites report the word zombie trending just about everyday since the event and for a price you can get some Zombie Garden Gnomes on Amazon.com, but you better hurry, there are only two left. Amazon sales aren't the only thing going up right now, ammunition manufacturer Hornady has been selling their Z-Max "zombie bullets" for a while but they have just recently started a large advertise campaign. While I can't say for sure they are trying to capitalize on recent increase in zombie awareness I have a pretty good assumption and I can't say I blame them. Company spokesman, Everett Deger told WWJ Newsradio 850 that while the bullets are real, they're only meant to be used on targets and not on people. He also stated that they are Hornady's most successful product. But wait, there's more....product manufactures aren't the only one capitalizing on the situation. The South Florida Business Journal reports that the site of the infamous "Miami Zombie" will become the latest addition to the Miami Crime Coach Tour from HistoryMiami.
