Mummy hits the campaign trail
Middle East unrest raises the dead

CAIRO
, EGYPT
– The explosive civil unrest rocking the Arab world has awakened legions of the undead, threatening to shift the balance of power across the region in frightening ways, warn experts.

    “During the uprising in Egypt, mummies were practically jumping out of their tombs,” says University of Cairo archeology professor Omar bin Ban-Daged. “They joined the protests in Tahrir Square because they wanted their long-silenced voices to be heard.”
    Bin Ban-Daged adds that it’s all part of a larger movement of the dearly departed across the globe.
    “The undead have actually been rallying for years,” he explains. “You can see it in the recent resurgence of undead factions like vampires, zombies and Betty White.”

    In Libya, defiant diespot Moammar Gaddafi has been recruiting a spectral force of suicide bombers in his increasingly desperate struggle to retain power while also trying to establish his own fashion line for dictators.
    “He's amassed a terrifying army of Islamic martyrs who are fighting mad after discovering that the promise of being rewarded with 72 virgins in heaven was nothing more than a recruitment ploy,” says bin Ban-Daged. “They should relieve him of the day-to-day pressures of oppression to focus on his new line of clothing.”
      Meantime, a band of ”Egyptian ghouls have already formed a political group called the Undead Brotherhood. They are led by The Mummy, the ageless fiend who skyrocketed to fame playing himself in the title role of the classic 1932 movie and countless remakes.

    “I’ve been typecast!” fumes Mummy, whose real name is Imhotep. “But now I’m ready for a whole new role.”
    In a stunning development, the 4,666-year-old monster has decided to run for the vacated Egyptian presidency.
    “At least there’s no doubt he’s a natural-born citizen,” notes bin Ban-Daged.
    Mummy is running on a “New Kingdom” platform, vowing to restore Egypt to its former glory - but with the Internet and better sewage. He even has a plan on how to deal with Egypt’s runaway unemployment problem.
    “No one will need a job because we’ll have slaves do all the work, like in the good old days,” he says.
    Political experts are divided over Mummy’s chances.
    “He definitely has name recognition,” notes Al-Jazeera pundit Salam al-Salami. “And his soulless nature makes him a perfect political candidate.”
    But others believe Mummy’s past will come back to haunt him. As the Cosmic Chronicle previously reported, the troubled tyrant has bounced in and out of rehab since developing a heartbreaking addiction to adhesive tape.

Mummy's curse
    After overdosing in his tomb in 2008, Mummy did a stint at Pharaoh’s Rehabilitation Clinic in Luxor. But a year later he suffered a shocking relapse, assaulting the trainer of a semi-professional soccer team who was taping his players’ ankles before a game.
    That breakdown landed him on the TV hit, Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew, who believes Mummy has finally beaten his demons.
    “The Mummy has a clean bill of health and fresh linen,” declares Drew. “He could go a long way if he doesn’t come unwrapped again.”
