Students at the University of Colorado are being told by campus police that their planned game of "Humans vs. Zombies" must be canceled because of a campus ban on toys that look like guns.
The planned game would divide participants into "humans" and "zombies" with the human team defending themselves with NERF guns. Campus police "[fear] they could be painted to look like a real weapon and someone could become alarmed and notify authorities, who would have to respond."

This isn’t right! How are they going to defend themselves from the zombies?
Ahhh. Now I understand! Zombies have already infiltrated the campus police and are setting the stage for a complete campus takeover!
Truly. When we played Humans and Zombies in college it was with flaming rolls of toilet paper soaked in lamp oil. You can send one of them nearly 100 yards using an ordinary broomstick.
