Haiti's voodoo priests have claimed that the many mass burials taking place in Haiti are not dignified or in keeping with black magic rituals.
Haiti, a country where many people still believe in voodoo and zombies, there has been concern the dead bodies could be brought back to life to persecute the living.
The priests have taken their concerns to President Rene Preval to ask him to intervene.
While Haiti's main voodoo leader, Max Beauvoir, has told Mr Preval that mass graves are against the Haitian culture, authorities are likely to continue the rate of burial as the most efficient way to dispose of the fast-rotting corpses from Tuesday's disaster.
More than half of Haiti's 9 million people are believed to practice voodoo along with Catholicism.
Many Haitians see no conflict between the two.

A couple things concern me, from what I've seen on the videos a lot of them look like zombies, how do we tell the difference? Also, they have a high AIDS % there, do zombies that died with AIDS still have the AIDS? Let's be realistic zombie killing is a messy business, a fun and rewarding one, but messy. This AIDS thing concerns me.
OK so pick you weapon. I'm going with chainsaw and broadsword.

That's preposterous! Theres no such things as midgets!
The other part of the story that's noteworthy is all the cruise ships making port in tne Dominican Republic, with party goers and resort dwellers that seem oblivious to the devastation on the very island they're visiting

I'd say gun or chainsaw, but I'd hate to run out of ammo or gas.
I've been really fond of my axe and maul lately, I'm going to go with those. Kitana would be nice, but I don't know where I can find one of those on short notice.
