So Seattle and New Jersey have a rivalry going over holding the title of the World’s Largest Zombie Walk from the Guinness people (records, not beer) and apparently Seattle was slated to have another go on Saturday. The media coverage is.. shallow but supportive: There’s something alluring about zombies — that white skin, those sunken [...]

Seriously, I mean, ok, ‘The Mist’ was a bit underwhelming and ‘The Green Mile’ had Tom Hanks, who is kind of my nemesis, but I will always treasure Shawshank (who doesn’t?), so even knowing Frank Darabont was involved with ‘The Walking Dead’ hurt, it really did. Still, his continued involvement mystifies and offends me in [...]

We’ve mentioned the growing wave of ‘pranks’ sabotaging roadside electronic signs to feed the public Living Supremacist warnings about imminent attacks by the Differently Animated. Guess what? It’s not just a US problem anymore: Commuters in the St. John’s area who might have been expecting a heads-up about construction delays were instead warned about something [...]

You know how sometimes life throws you a curve-ball and you end up seeing something that really transforms your view of the world, or some tiny portion thereof? Now, we’ve seen Anti-Zombie and Zombie Friendly commercials here at the ZRC before; I am not unschooled in the art of using Zombies to market a product, [...]

We’ve had our issues with Cracked.com before, and this video certainly isn’t perfect, presenting some harmful stereotypical imagery about the Differently Animated, but on the whole it seems to be a satire of the Zombpocalypse concept. Check it out: Dealing With The Guy Who’s Clearly Hiding a Zombie Bite — powered by Cracked.com See, they [...]

Is there anything that can’t be tied to hating the Differently Animated these days? Perhaps you thought to yourself at one point, ‘The Space Program seems like a fairly safe topic. Surely I can read up on NASA without finding ugly, Living Supremacist rhetoric in my web browser.’ Would that it were so, Zombie Ally. [...]

The ZRC’s Cultural Historian Andrew Leal suggested that I take a look at ‘Mind My Brains, Darling’, a new web comedy series concerning the Differently Animated, and I’m glad that he did so, as it has turned out to offer us a small glimmer of hope from increasingly Anti-Zombie Europe. ‘Mind My Brains, Darling’ is [...]

I had sincerely hoped that this behemoth of Anti-Zombie prejudice masquerading as a film would crash and burn, but it seems that ‘World War Z’ is a reality we will have to confront for some time to come: This summer World War Z is going to be shot within England and they need a TON [...]

Now, we’re not in this business for the fame or adulation, but I’d like to think that The Zombie Rights Campaign has, by now, earned a little bit of recognition as a leader in the burgeoning Zombie Rights Movement, at least here in America. Yet this poll to determine the ‘Best Zombie Site’ not only [...]

Here’s something that came to us via the grapevine recently: MTV, which for the younger out there once stood for ‘Music Television’, has a new Anti-Differently Animated show in the works, which slams Vampires, Werewolves and Zombies in order to stage some wacky COPS-style sitcom. Seriously: Holy shit! Check out the trailer for “DEATH VALLEY,” [...]
