Zombie Attack! Breaking News! The semi-regular blogs on Indonesia are being interrupted to report on the recent zombie infestation around the Titans' stadium in Nashville, TN. The masses of lifeless bodies had reportedly been planning their attacks for the past few months. Officials are now dubbing the incident, "Zombie Buffet 5k," as the hoard of zombies had apparently developed an appetite for runners. While it happened last weekend, authorities were slow to report the event in fear of causing panic throughout the state. Hundreds of runners had gathered to participate in a 5 kilometer run through the city. As they crossed over the Cumberland River on the pedestrian bridge, they were met by dozens of reanimated corpses that authorities failed to contain. Chief of Police, Steve Anderson, insisted his department was not to blame. "The area was well staffed by our officers," he claimed, "It isn't unusual for too see uncoordinated, slow-moving individuals around LP Field." "Our officers assumed the Titans had finished a Saturday practice at the field." Several of the surviving runners also shifted blame to the city's professional football team suggesting that they had become accustomed to a foul stench emanating from area. "The Titans stink up that side of the river almost every weekend," an angry resident exclaimed, "there was a home game the next day, it's no surprise the runners were unable to identify the stench. A number of intellectuals have expressed concern over the incident because these zombies failed to adhere to the social norms typically associated with the reanimated bodies depicted in pop-culture. Until now, it was commonly believed that a fair amount of speed was enough to survive a zombie apocalypse as the creatures would simply redirect their attention to slower individuals. Nashville mayor, Karl Dean, weighed in on the incident saying it should be no surprise that the undead focused on athletes. "Even zombies have become conscious of their fat intake as Americans continue to balloon," he said. "Many of them would simply die if they gained a few pounds." While the duration of the attack lasted several hours, no zombies were captured or eliminated. "There is no longer an immediate threat," Dean said, "but I encourage all Nashvillians to maintain a watchful eye."
