Are you paying attention? Have you seen Fox News lately? You still feel politicians are human? If you answered yes to 2 of those, then I can’t help you. You’re already one of them. But, If you answered no to the above, then I have something for you. Protection. Yes, protection from the ZOMBIE Apocalypse!

One need only read the headlines, watch the TV, and/or surf the Intertubes to see that the time is nigh.\* Get Covered Today! Guys, your wife would love this for Xmas. ---
