I'm sure many of us have joked about the 'zombie apocalypse', or read books and/or watched movies about it. The Action Pistol Club used the concept as the basis for a humorous article about what gun, ammunition, etc. would be most appropriate to deal with marauding zombies.
It seems the article has aroused the ire of the "Haitian American Voodoo Association (HAVA)". Their lawyer (signing himself "Undead Johnnie L. Cochran, Jr. Esq.") has threatened legal action. Here's an excerpt from his (alleged) letter to the club (link is to an Adobe Acrobat document in .PDF format).
Zombies are afflicted with a medical condition and discrimination and persecution of Zombies is a violation of the Americans with Disabilities Act.
Modern Zombies are honest hard working undead people. They are just like the rest of Americans, but do not have any pulse nor brain activity. They are productive members of society and have been very successful in the local, state, and federal government. They have become model bureaucrats, and have continually worked toward building a positive reputation.
There's more at the link. Go read it all for a good laugh!

I didn't know that Obama got elected by the undead. But the more I think about it the more since it makes.
The other thing to remember, for those who will attempt to cite said letter in court as a rationale for obtaining large amounts of lawsuit geld, is that American law does NOT make such statements a crime unless they are not true. That said, you can say most anything about anyone, Obama incuded, and they - or he - has to prove it untrue. The presumption of innocence, you know, benefits the "accused", while the burden of proof is on the accuser. Just saying . . .
