:: Ok ::  Previously we have posted Google Map mash-ups of bath salt induced cannibalism on America’s East Coast and pondered the coming zombie apocalypse.  But it all seemed a bit weak.  Can a northern hemisphere western centric apocalypse really qualify as a genuine humanity threatening global apocalypse?

Well things are different now. The good folk over at Kotaku are reporting a face eating episode in China:

“In the city of Wenzhou, an inebriated bus driver (only his surname “Dong” is given) blocked a woman’s car, climbed on the car’s hood, and started hitting the windshield. The woman, got out of the car, hoping to escape the man’s onslaught.

Dong tackled the woman, and then began gnawing on her face. Bystanders unsuccessfully tried to pull Dong, whom they said was acting crazy, off the woman. Police finally were able to stop the attack, and the woman was rushed to the hospital.”

Picked up by the always vigilant folks over at io9 the story goes that “the attacker (named Dong) had drunk 1.5 jin [750g] of baijiu with his friends. But while most of the drinkers passed out, Dong went mad. Now sober, Dong is “filled with regret” and — as of this last report — is still detained by the police for assault.”

How does one prepare for such a scenario?  A crazed bus driver on a post lazy lunch super juice zombie high?  There’s trouble brewing, I can just feel it …
