Map Shows Where The People Who Google ‘Zombies’ Are From

Apparently the only people who care about zombies are the people who live in developed, populous, Western-with-a-tinge-of-Japan big cities. The rest of the world just doesn’t give a crap about the walking dead.

The map, which was created at the Oxford Internet Institute, plotted out points where the term ‘zombie’ was used in Google. The bigger the circle, the more zombie searches there was. As you can see, the biggest areas of zombie-interest are in the US, Europe, Japan with a bit of Aussie land. I guess it makes sense, when you have less to worry about you invent shit to worry about.

    Very Funny,

    However not all countries use google, i.e china has bada (or something linke that) so there results would be way down.

    I’m surprised Japan ranked so high since this was based on google and Yahoo is king there.

    pretty sure this would also correlate with a map of boxoffice income of zombie movies, zombie game sales and other zombie related merchandise.

    Alot of the other places are more concerned about the basics like food and health let alone googling “zombies”
