Zombie Firearm Target Manufacturer's Latest Product Parodies MSNBC's Al Sharpton http://mm4a.org/12Wpr36


___ Zombie Industries, a firearms target company that produces "life-sized; three-dimensional tactical mannequins that 'bleed' when you shoot them," has released a new target -- "Al" -- that is presumably inspired by MSNBC host Rev. Al Sharpton.

In May, Sharpton called a Zombie Industries' exhibition of a target that resembled President Obama at the National Rifle Association's annual meeting a "stunning, offensive display." The NRA asked Zombie Industries to remove the target from its display, although it is still available for purchase on the Zombie Industries website.

A description of the target on Zombie Industries' website describes how "Poor Al he was a Sharp guy" was attacked by zombies while he "complained about complete nonsense" to a truck driver who offered him a ride:

... as Al complained about complete nonsense, when all of a sudden a rotten, maggot infested face appeared from above the cab of the truck. The trucker slammed the brakes and jolted the wheel, causing the truck to tip over and its contents sprawled over the countryside. Both the driver and poor Al were still stuck in the cab when they saw them coming... nowhere to run, no one to call, they shook in fear and poor Al even cried... but sadly within minutes it was over. Once their screams for help were silenced, they were now one of them... the brainless ones.
