It is stated at one point by some CIA guy that North Korea was able to avoid the zombie outbreak by systematically removing the teeth of all of its residence in less than 24 hours. The reasoning being that if nobody had teeth then the virus couldn’t spread because nobody could bite anyone. He states that it was “the greatest feat of social engineering ever achieved”. Like I get this is a fictitious plot but they can’t even avoid making up the most utterly deranged bullshit lmao.

    The book is also pro Zionist and pro apartheid South Africa among other bs.

    Yeah, doesn't Israel open their border wall to let Palestinians in and it ends up letting the zombies in?

      It was written by Mel Brooks's son, and not all Jews are Zionists of course, but I fucking bet Mel Brooks is.

      It's been a while since I read it, but I don't think that happens. They do let Palestinian refugees in but I don't remember anything about it backfiring, other than the civil war I think Israel rides out the war pretty well.

        In the movie they do, though. A woman in a hijab starts singing and all the people waiting to be let in start singing as well. Turns out zombies are attracted to noise and that leads to them climbing the wall. Can't get any more overt with the anti-arab sentiment there.

          Yeah that movie had quite a few dog whistles like that as well as the main hero getting their own disposable IDF soldier to accompany theme.
