Then I think we need to fake an end of the world scenario ASAP so these clowns all bolt to their rat hole. Then we can simply pour masses of concrete over the top of these things and seal the fuckers in forever.
(Tho maybe that'll be how the morlocks start.)
There is, BTW, a great bit in
World War Z (the book, probably not in the film) dealing with a group of rich and famous people holed up in a fortified compound, with private security, to ride out the zombie apocalypse - all the while sending out a sort of a reality TV broadcast about doing so. Inevitably the plan backfires, with desperate have-nots gathering around the compound to break in, summoned by the broadcast. After the walls are breached and the security gets overwhelmed, there is nothing stopping the eventual zombie horde. We then get to read about zombies ripping apart the original residents, including people looking a lot like Paris Hilton, Ann Coulter, Bill Maher, etc.
Funny, that's exactly where my mind's eye was just taking me, reflecting on my earlier comment. Why is there any publicity about this thing? Because if you were serious about this kind of thing, you certainly wouldn't want the future angry hordes to know about it.
Which makes me wonder -- how many of these things have already been built that we don't know about?
