Fans of the game Plague Inc. started a petition to include Anti-Vaxxers as a buff in the game. The petition went viral and the developers said that if the petition reached 10,000 signatures then they would do just that.

Well, the petition hit the 10,000 signatures and they are now doing just that.

As someone who finds Anti-Vaxxers to be perennial candidates for the Darwin Award, I find this to be both amusing and fitting. It also restores my faith in humanity somewhat.

Thanks to the guys over at GameCast for bringing this one to my attention. You should check their episode of Newscast, where they discuss this story, among others:
