You've got to be kidding me... who's brilliant idea was this?!?

This isn't going to end well at all.

*person with an arm* KIJUJU!
*capcom rep* Congratula... wait a sec, that arm looks bloody real...
*onlookers* holy sh*t............
*news across the world* In other news, a publicity stunt by Capcom ends in tragedy when an all too eager contestant...

I fear somebody not in the competition will find the body parts, and the armed police will get involved.

A trip to Africa? You know that's a continent right? Bit more specific?

Why? A lot of other promotions mention trips to Europe without being more specific. Presumably, the trip allows you to visit multiple countries, but that's just a guess.

That said, I'd like to go to Egypt. They should hide some mummy parts as well, and those only work for an Egyptian trip. Of course, that would have nothing to do with the game (or maybe it does, I haven't played it to verify that it doesn't have mummies).

Where's Zombo?

Why, he's at zombo.com. You can do anything.

Finally, a decent reason to skip Thursday morning lectures.

Ironically, the only people who could go out and collect these parts are the unemployed and school kids who are too young to play the game (It's an 18, isn't it?)

Aaaand, it's Where's Wally in the UK ;)

This can only go well. I remember the last such promotion for a game in my fair city...

That pic reminds me, whatever happened to that PSN game The Last Guy, there was supposed to be functionality added where you could use anywhere on Google Earth.

Like having the alien/zombie hoards invade your neighbourhood, it was half the reason for buying the game.

That was just a rumor. Though it sounds like it would have been cool.

I can imagine it now, hundreds of planks walking through the streets of cental london, checking side streets and alleys to find zombie parts.

Great idea if you have nothing else in London to do but chances are they'll get picked up by tourists or grannies going for a walk before us

Why not hire 100 bit part actors to dress up as zombies and then wander around the streets around Trafalgar area. Then each of them will have a token to collect, and the person who finds most zombies will get the prize.

Seems a safer, simpler and honestly cooler promotion.

Depends what part of Africa, though. I heard some parts are rather shitty.

The UK has gone off the deep end. This is going to end up as a major terror scare.

A bit in poor taste considering the history of and recent rise of African witchcraft murders in London.

Someone in Capcoms marketing department has not done enough researching.
