A 2006 novel by Max Brooks recounting the zombie apocalypse and it's effect on the world. It deals with themes such as blame, the media and its effect on society, and the unpreparedness of the world's governments.
It has had quite an effect of zombie culture. It's portrayal of the undead as rabid killing machines has spread to become the template for the species, and the book's signature, the Lobotomiser, is widely accepted by the zombie-killer community. It is a must read for all fans of the living dead, for all lovers of subtext, and for all people who enjoy a good horror story.
It was loosely adapted into a 2013 movie starring Brad Pitt.

Just to give you a taste of the book, there is a scene in which a crowd riots and destroys a mansion that is occupied by Bill Maher, Paris Hilton and Lil' Wayne. It is ultra-cool.
Also, the movie of World War Z is totally watchable, if a little castrated for gore.

Get the World Beater mug.Related Words
A severe mental disorder that is virtually incurable. It's extremely contagious. If a close friend or family member has WOWD, get them help as soon as you can. It's transmitted through online interaction and/or real life social contact. Word of mouth is thought to be another means of contraction, but this has not been proven as of yet. There are many symptoms of WOWD:
-Loss of friends, money, job, etc.
-Low care for hygiene, pimples, bad teeth.
-Development of the ability to live on only milk and human excrement
-Deterioration of the brain
-and/or vomiting, headaches, and death.
There is one upside to WOWD, however: Most WOW users do not do drugs, but instead fap. The reason for this is unknown, but it is thought to occur because of the player's inability to leave the chair because of the skin's fusing to the leather.

Get the World Of Warcraft Disorder mug.Let me put this in terms a teenager can understand
Archduke Franz Ferdinand was in Sarajevo and Gavrilo Princop popped a cap in his ass
Austria-Hungary got pissed off and asked Germany for help who gave them a "do whatever the fuck you want" or a blank check. Austria-Hungary finally asked Serbia to stop all anti Austria-Hungary activities and let them investigate the murder themselves. Serbia said fuck no and then Austria-Hungary declared war
because Russia was an allie of Serbia it began mobilization (preparing for war) and Germany didn't like this so they said "back the fuck up" to which Russia said no so Germany declared war on Russia and for no apparent reason whatsoever (just to be assholes I suppose) declared war on France. the declaration of war by Germany on France pissed off the English so England declared war on Germany
so basically they're all fighting when one day Germany shot a torpedo and sunk the Lusitania. the United States put their foot down and decided enough is enough and they were going to enter the war.
the Germans shit their pants and I can't remember what happened next but that's how it started
