As a champion of zombie rights I implore you to watch this zombie PSA and truly consider the plight of the living impaired.
How can we see our down trodden and decayed brotheren and not open up our hearts (sometimes literally) and give. Their need is so great, and you have so many organs your not using.
Can’t you give… Come on! you weren’t using that appendix and you know it. You can at least give that… also give some of your less popular relatives to the cause, and your ex-wives and ex-husbands. All are welcome at the table.
This heartfelt Zombie PSA actually made me cry. Of course since I’m so manly my tears are made of pure testosterone… wherever they fall… hair grows.
I actually thought it was a real Zombie Protest for a second there, but no. Just a bit of promo at E3 for the new Dead Rising 2 game coming out.
Which is too bad as “Zombie Rights” are a serious concern. As they should be to all of us future zombies.
What’s up with the zombie in the cage though? Damnit man! how about a livelier performance! I really want to see you chew the scenery! Ha….ha…. um yeah did you see what I did there…. cuz… over acting is called…. Okay I’ll shut up now.
As of Yesterday “Brains: A Zombie Memoir” written by Robin Becker is available for you to purchase, take home, and dare I say it “to love.” (Why do I always take this to a creepy place… Write what you know I guess.)
I loved the trailer for this book, made me laugh, but to be honest I really am looking forward to getting my grubby hands on a copy because I like the premise. I’ve read way to many books and watched too many movies where the zombies are the horrible villains, suitable only to be put down with a well placed shot to the head.
It’s really really REALLY refreshing to see them as the Protagonists in a story. I support Zombie Rights! And you should too.
About the Book:
Forget contemporary American literature–former college professor Jack Barnes has a new passion: Brains. It’s in his nature…he’s a zombie. But he’s not your normal, vacant-eyed, undead idiot. No, Jack Barnes has something most other victims of the zombie apocalypse don’t have: sentience. In fact, he can even write. And the story he has to tell is a truly disturbing–yet strangely heartwarming–one.
Convinced he’ll bring about a peaceful coexistence between zombies and humans if he can demonstrate his unique condition to the man responsible for the zombie virus, Howard Stein, Barnes sets off on a grueling cross-country journey to meet his maker. Along the way he meets more like him, rotting brain-eaters who have retained some sort of cognitive ability, and soon forms a small army that will stop at nothing to reach their goal.
There’s Guts, the agile, dread-locked boy who can run like the wind; Joan, the matronly nurse adept at re-attaching rotting appendages; Annie, the young girl with a fierce quick-draw; and Ros, who can actually speak coherent sentences. Together they make their way through an eerie new world of roving zombie hunters, empty McMansions, and clogged highways on a quest to attain what all men, women–and apparently zombies–yearn for: equality.
Finally zombies are getting their justice. I mean how dare does “The Man” and “Johny Law” come down on some helpless zombies. Zombies who mearly want to raise awareness of commercialism and also to possibly LOWER awareness cannibalism.
At the time of their arrest in 2006, the plaintiffs lurched stiff-legged through a mall urging shoppers to “get your brains here” and “brain cleanup in aisle five” while wearing white face powder, fake blood and black circles around their eyes. They were also carrying audio equipment, including loudspeakers and wireless phone handsets, which police had decided to describe as “simulated weapons of mass destruction.”
The three-judge panel, by a two-to-one vote, ruled that Minneapolis police lacked probable cause to arrest the demonstrators for disorderly conduct, and that the group of seven “zombies” had been wrongfully detained during the protest against consumerism. The appeals court ruled that police had no reason to imprison protesters simply for “dressing as zombies, and walking erratically in downtown Minneapolis.”
“An objectively reasonable person,” the appeals court ruled, “would not think probable cause exists under the Minnesota disorderly conduct statue to arrest a group of peaceful people for engaging in an artistic protest by playing music, broadcasting statements [and] dressing as zombies.”
Glad to know that the courts aren’t just protecting our rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness—but also our right to brains as well!
I think it’s pretty clear where our society is going…. ZOMBIES. It’s also pretty clear that I have blatantly raided YouTube for a whole mess of zombie clips.
So get with the times people and start supporting zombie rights, because it wont be long and we will all be one of them.
