What the heck is out there which can kill 80% of us?

Ok... I see now... it IS a joke. Good stuff from The Onion!


Here is a transcript that somebody has filled in words for, and passed on another website as the "unredacted version"

Quote:
CLASSIFIED BILL, HR 8791, UNCLASSIFIED.

"Congress shall now vote for approval of HR 8791, the Homeland Terrorism Preparedness Bill. Said bill request emergency response funding up to and including 1 TRILLION dollars to prepare for national level terrorist attack and/or attack from UNIDENTIFIED BEINGS. Funding for first responder personnel and vehicles will be doubled if said attack leads to more than 80% of national population being effected by UNIDENTIFIED BEINGS. This funding shall commence in conjunction to the first attack on THE UNITED STATES or the first large scale outbreak of VIRUS X depending on upon which comes first. Civillian and military units shall be trained in containment and combat of UNIDENTIFIED BEINGS including iratirated MUTANTS with possibility of VIRUS X BEING airborne, OR THE POSSIBILITY OF flesh eating, HOSTS and/or all the above. In such event as A DOMESTIC REVOLT ON US SOIL OR spewing/UNIDENTIFIED BEINGS escape or released or otherwise become uncontrollable, Air Force units may also be directed to combat said BEINGS due to their enormous size and other worldly strengths. Should event occur in urban areas, Jesus... That's DANGEROUS, far surpassing our darkest nightmares. Should casualties exceed 100,000,000 PEOPLE, body disposal actions should be holded and associated resources shall be reallocated through SEWAGE SYSTEMS underground FEMA-BASED protective birthing centers. A new bill of rights shall be drafted and approved by THE ELITE OF TEN. Having now reviewed the bill, I ask you to please cast your votes."

Besides, just because the car is parked there does not mean it came through those doors.

Oh wait, yes it did. I have no issue with this. That's nice car.

Seems more like a photoshop / prank to me.
I was just joking about the zombies, from the description it might contain something to do with transportation, right?

Hopefully not the Rex-84 death trains.

FEMA GETTING RAILWAYS READY FOR MASS EVACUATIONS

Some sort of cattle car picture I assume.

Thanks for clearing that up, I thought it was too weird.

Kill Bill

FALSE

#REX84 sur Topsy.fr


Some sort of conspiracy based on some actual facts.

Nope, those are auto racks. Three decks for most cars and two decks for pick-ups, vans and tall SUVs.

I see that some of us have been overthinking this photo. I'd like to continue that.

Why is no one concerned that this guy is obviously putting Castrol on his Cheerios?

Why does he have that stupid plate on the bumper declaring it is an M3? The grille badge is enough for most civilized M3 owners.

It's 2016. Why is the car sporting white-lettered tires?

I wonder what BMW CCA chapter he belongs to?

Why doesn't he eat in his dining room?
