This is how it starts<\/a>: skin care center in Vietnam conveniently happens to be using the exact same logo as the Umbrella Corporation, the \u201cfictional\u201d company from the Resident Evil<\/em> franchise responsible for \u201caccidentally\u201d creating the T-Virus which started the global zombie apocalypse<\/span><\/p>\n

In other words, UMBRELLA IS REAL AND IS IN VIETNAM.\u00a0 Start stocking up on ammunition, first aid spray and green and red herbs.\u00a0 Engineer some convoluted locks and puzzles based on chess pieces, piano sonatas, and shattered crests of mythical creatures.\u00a0 And start writing out your thoughts in diaries and start scattering pages around your homes, with discreet clues on how to solve your puzzles and unlock your locks so that Jill, Chris, Rebecca and Leon can find your shit after we all die and then reanimate.<\/span><\/p>\n

This is pretty close to how the plot started in the movie franchise, with Umbrella\u2019s public guise being one that started off with cosmetics and health wellness while privately dabbling in the world of viral pathogens and some sinister science to ultimately be weaponized and sold for ridiculous profits.\u00a0 It\u2019s a little too close to home that a clinic in Vietnam is all about the skin care, but happens to be using the verbatim exact same logo as the Umbrella Corporation.<\/span><\/p>\n

I guess the Capcom conspiracy theorists who wrote out the plot to Resident Evil 6<\/em> were a little off in estimating that a zombie outbreak would be in China, but that\u2019s still close enough to Vietnam to believe that maybe these hair-brained video game plots couldn\u2019t be based on some sort of potentially lurking truth.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I mean, looking at some of the photographs in the aforementioned link shows that this clinic brands itself and is about as proud of its logo as the Umbrella Corporation is in the games.\u00a0 Every office has a giant Umbrella logo lording over them, and the emblem is large and on every single sign inside and outside of their facilities.\u00a0 They\u2019re probably injecting low-doses of early formula T-Virus into unsuspecting patients, promising revitalized youth and reversing the aging process, when they\u2019re really planting early dormant mutant cells that will turn them into flesh-eating itchy tasty<\/a> zombies, when the second part of the viral compound is released to them, in a more weaponized manner.<\/span><\/p>\n

The sad reality is that this clinic clearly didn\u2019t do their homework when consulting a designer to make their logo for them.\u00a0 They claim to not be aware of the coincidence, which I can believe, because they\u2019re doctors and cosmeticians, not nerdy gamers.\u00a0 But there\u2019s no way the artist who \u201ccreated\u201d the logo wasn\u2019t oblivious to the similarities and in fact probably thought they were being clever and getting easy money for selling a very recognizable logo, verbatim to the original source, to an unsuspecting client.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I actually feel bad for the clinic, because they\u2019re probably going to get sued by Capcom, if it already hasn\u2019t happened by now.\u00a0 But maybe because it\u2019s Vietnam, they can find a way to punish the artist with the death penalty or something, or maybe I\u2019m thinking of Malaysia and their absurdly brutal punishments for innocuous offenses.<\/span><\/p>\n

Regardless, it doesn\u2019t change the fact that the Umbrella flag is now real and flying high in Vietnam, and when real-life stories of cannibalism start trickling in, all eyes know where to look towards first and point fingers at.\u00a0 Better go get myself a shotgun; can probably steal one from an unsuspecting Georgia college student<\/a> OH SHIT<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
