Hardware Chain Helping People Prepare for Zombie Attack

How do you prepare for the inevitable onslaught of rampaging zombies? With a hammer, some nails, and lawn seed apparently.

That’s what came in a media package we received from Westlake Ace Hardware, a chain of hardware stores that does business in six Midwestern and Southwestern states including Missouri and Kansas. There always was something strange about Missouri.

The kit comes equipped with directions for how to use each of the items in the Zombie Preparedness Kit (the seed is for your lawn after the undead pop out of it) and information about “the growing zombie trend,” which includes the millions of viewers who tuned in to The Walking Dead in 2010 and the millions of zombie-related Google searches.
