A Message from the Founder, President and Prophet of the Warriors of the Inevitable Zombie Apocalypse
By Neil Wright

Thanks to the tireless efforts of WIZAP information officers and fact checkers, it came to my attention that within Madam Li Rapkin's advice column a question pertaining to the Inevitable Zombie Apocalypse was posed. I am afraid that some specious information was disseminated by the columnist about the IZAP and the noble members of WIZAP. As the founder of the group I would be remiss in my duties if I did not set the record straight.

An anonymous advice-seeker asked what writers at Shotgunreviews.com meant when they mentioned "a zombie apocalypse." In a fallacious response, Madam Li stated that the belief in the IZAP arose from, "Overexposure from an early age to comics, horror movies, millenial (sic) madness, and a few other things I'm loathe to think about, let alone mention in a public forum." This overall disdain for the believers in the prophecy was not entirely negative. She did add that, "it doesn't necessarily mean they're wrong." Despite her small attempt at balance, I must retort.

In order to properly inform the public as to why so many on the staff believe in the IZAP, I shall once again tell the tale.

There is a unidirectional causality for the creation of WIZAP, and that is the nightmarish portent I received in February 1997 of the dead walking the earth. I am blessed with visions of the future that show the dead overturning the balance of nature, and leading a full frontal assault against humanity. Events of zombie infestation have been carefully reported on this page, so do not doubt the word! Through my extrasensory perception, and a fiercely devoted crew of compatriots, a countermeasure designed to let the strong survive was produced. Thus, the Warriors of the Inevitable Zombie Apocalypse was formed to be the vanguard against the living dead menace. The warriors, and those who have been placed in their protective care, will then move to the inpenetrable Meijer fortress, where they will stay and fortify themselves for many nights. At the appropriate time, the warriors will begin a mass exodus to the final promised land of Michigan where life will begin anew on a freshwater island. Only the chosen few will survive. It is not a kind world in the land of the zombies.

Some claim that my prophecies were hallucinations fueled by a crippling bout of agoraphobia, a three-month diet consisting of nothing but canned tapioca pudding, a groundless belief in leprechauns, and addictions to lesbian pornography and slasher flicks. I fail to see the connection when clearly a member of the undead has taken the highest office in the world. All who have resisted joining the jihad against the dead have become their food or one within their ranks. Because they are not blessed with the will, strength and singularity of vision that the WIZAP possess, non-believers and pundits will roam the land searching for fresh victims. Do not be fooled by the non-believers for soon they too will perish. Join the ranks of the righteous and raise your shotgun, shovel or blunt instrument in the air and say "nay!" to those who would devour you!

End communication.
