ORIGINAL LINK:

some people will believe anything. ha ha. i immediately knew it was a joke based on the url, then after reading i was sure. to double check, i skimmed through the page source, and i found the note.

" A ha! So you know to look at the source code! Yes, this is a slight play off of the old Cambodian zombie story that was originally an april fools joke which can (not) be found at:
http://65.127.124.62.wstub.archive.org/south_asia/4483241.stm.htm (no longer works, you'll have to use archive.org).

Just made a few changes to fit the current news, changed the date, and that's aboot it. This was originally intended as a simple joke among friends. Honestly, this swine flu virus has been blown way out of proportion, and I think we're all a victim of a world of high school students, looking for the latest gossip or car crash.

You can find a snopes article that verifies this is a false news story here: http://www.snopes.com/humor/iftrue/zombies.asp

i remember sites back in the last 90s that let you make up fake headline stories from real news website templates.
