How many of the "bath salts zombie attacks" were copycat attacks triggered by the (inaccurate) news coverage of the original?
Are people using "bath salts" and then thinking that while under the influence they "should" have a zombie episode?
Now that the "Original Face-Eating Zombie" has been discovered to have NOT been on "bath salts" it would seem that the epidemic should fizzle- except that the damage has been done and impressionable people now believe that "If I use 'bath salts' I will attack and eat someone".
The human mind- is it worse than the drugs?

ReplyDeleteYes.
There was even some research about this. The symptoms of drunkenness are partly cultural - drunks act differently in different cultures, and in each case consistently with expectations.
I found this out myself because I questioned that alcohol weakened the will. Yes, I act differently when drunk, some inhibitions are weakened, but I can still act pretty much normal if I want. In vino veritas? No, rather, they're socially allowed to blame the wine, so they use that to get away with it.
Or maybe it's just me. Maybe only I'm still responsible for my actions while under the influence. I don't mind if the counter-argument is I'm special. :P
