LONDON -- This isn't funny. This isn't funny at all.

As far as we're concerned, this marks the beginning of the end.

It all starts innocently enough. People think they're witnessing a terrifying zombie attack, police are phoned, turns out the zombies are just actors. Har. Har. Har.

But you won't be laughing when this classic Boy Who Cried Wolf-like scenario ends just as tragically as that story did.

Responding to a call from a concerned citizen that reported seeing a "man biting a lady and assaulting her" on the M62, the North West Motorway Police were positively chuffed to find that the man and woman in question were *just* zombie extras on their way to an acting job.

But what happens when we witness an actual zombie attack? Will we giggle gleefully as our neighbor chomps down on us? Will we chortle and heehaw to our doom?

Time is of the essence in these matters, and so-called actors "playing zombies" are frivolous distractions that encourage complacency and a false sense of security.

We have to remain vigilant, people.
