Excellent point. And that is the real social benefit of programs like "We're Alive". Two years ago no government official worth his salt would have believed that the zombie apocalypse was possible. Now we have the CDC publishing its zombie preparedness guidelines, we have cities like Bristol creating zombie preparedness plans that, while tongue in cheek, actually look somewhat sound. I predict that by the end of Season 5 of WA there will be a federal department of zombie preparedness!

Which is why we need to get on record now and help shape the emerging government policy. Oh, and I nominate KC Wayland for Presidential Zombie Czar.
