In the growing Tablet pc era laptops are often seen as an endangered species* and the question of how to promote the older form factor against the very trendy tablet market seems to be driving some computer makers barmy. Or, in the case of Lenovo, into simulated Anti-Zombie violence: Behold the first absolutely wacky advertisement [...]

We’ve had more than a couple bones to pick with the io9 website here in the past at the ZRC, as they grossly misinform about the history of Anti-Zombie prejudice, compare Zombies to cancer, promote already-prominent Anti-Zombie filmmakers and so forth. Nevertheless it’s worth noting that they continue to this day in their quest to [...]

Yes, Anti-Zombie movies are cropping up everywhere, and the Independent film world is chock-full of aspiring filmmakers who want to make their mark in part by demonstrating that they, too, don’t like the Differently Animated. Consider this the Kansas edition: RIVERTON, Kan. — If zombies are spotted outside of Riverton this spring and summer, the [...]

As you have probably heard by now, Zombie Rights allies, noteworthy Zombie film actor and cinematographer Bill Hinzman passed away Sunday evening: LOS ANGELES (Reuters) – Bill Hinzman, who was cast on-the-spot as a zombie in 1968 cult film “Night of the Living Dead” in a role that earned him the longlasting admiration of horror [...]

Truly some of the stuff we come across here at the ZRC is so bizarre it feels like the entire universe might be pulling a fast one on us. Case in point, a lengthy blog post that attempts to use the fear of a ‘Zombie Apocalypse’ to push the concept of web-based software for dentists: [...]

I can’t say I’ve kept up on Transformers as much as my kid-self would’ve liked. (Man I loved that Sky Lynx toy. A part of me always will) Still, via reading the webcomic Shortpacked! I still get a dose of Transformers from time to time, and indirectly, that’s how I discovered that the latest Transformers [...]

I really don’t have a lot to say about ‘Revelations’ at this point; the ZRC doesn’t own a 3DS, which is apparently not as uncommon as Nintendo would like, and the old marketplace of ideas is pretty flooded right now with RE titles, remakes, HD releases and the like. Still, for a summary of the [...]

We’ve talked about ‘Zombie Bohemia’ here on the ZRC blog before, and expressed both our hopes and reservations about the concept. We’ve also been worried by previous behind-the-scenes type updates that pushed the blood and gore rather hard. Well, a couple of updates were shared with the ZRC on facebook by none other than the [...]

We’re on ‘Don’t Use the Zed Word’ watch today here at the ZRC, and here’s another example: ‘Zombie’ Properties, that is to say, real estate developments that fell through during the financial crisis and are now seeing some redevelopment prospects: ‘Zombie’ properties on Staten Island get a life … STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. — The apartment [...]

The ZRC isn’t going to field a lot of commentary on the Republican Presidential Primaries, at least not at this stage; to our knowledge none of the candidates has taken a position particularly pro or Anti-Zombie Rights. This isn’t stopping some political wags from trying to bring Anti-Zombie rhetoric into the race though. Case in [...]
