I love the idea of linking preparedness with current pop culture and getting the message out through social media. I think that most folks will take the humor in it to prepare their own family plan. However, I am really disturbed by the photo used on the opening tag to me, the photo depicts a an ultra paranoid person who some may construe as over-thinking and having delusional thoughts about preparedness. This photo may also lead viewers to leap to the conclusion that folks with phobias and delusions are the ones who may take preparedness seriously. I was also disturbed by the photo showing the dirty fingernails, which again led me to think that the person in the image wasn t grounded in reality, or taking care of themselves. I don t believe this is the type of image CDC should be promoting when we promote healthy people through preparedness and prevention. I am also concerned that there may be some negative feedback from the religious community who may give the Agency negative feedback by the linking of Zombies to preparedness. Many religions associtate Zombies to Satanic worship, and this linkage may relfect somewhat badly on the Agency. I hope it doesn t in the long run, because I can see the fun in it for the younger generation who loves this type of pop culture association. Please consider changing the main photo on the tag to something that folks wouldn t associate with paranoid or delusional thoughts or self-neglect. Thanks.
I’m sorry that you are bothered by the photo used.
