I know I probably sound like a broken record of late, talking about how the ‘Zombie Apocalypse’ is being used by mercenary and unethical capitalists to accumulate lucre while spreading hate, but they really will try and sell you anything with fears of Zombies. The latest example: BBQ Beef Tactical Sammich Tactical Sammiches are available [...]

We mentioned this fun event before on the blog, a fun chance for the Undead to get out, have a Tiki themed party and enjoy themselves. Here’s a quick update to note that the event went off without violence or disruption, and hey, there are fun photos to be gazed upon as well. Sorry we [...]

Unfortunately I came to this story a bit late, but it’s still a fascinating example of how a complete lack of cultural sensitivity can lead to even initially well-intentioned people making terrible faux pas. Case in point: Creators of a railroad safety mascot named Brainy are sending him to the Memphis Zombie Massacre on Friday [...]

The protests here in Madison are back in full swing as a tent city of sorts has been approved and permitted by the City of Madison just across the street from the Capitol* dubbed Walkerville. Things are festive, people are in a good mood, and I went down to observe and take notes on a [...]

It’s just outstanding how many great Zombie-related charity events we’re seeing lately. Case in point: Do you like zombies? Do you like to dress up? Do you like to dance? Do you like to help fight Juvenile Diabetes? Do you live in Utah or will be in the area around September 9th 2011? If you [...]

Yes I know this story came out months ago… I think we were told about it in February. Still, news of the day often takes precedence, and besides, I foolishly wondered, how much more could Max Brooks really contribute to the canon of Living Supremacist fiction? As it turns out, quite a bit. The premise [...]

Talk about selling people on a Tiger Rock. Yeesh: It’s reasonable to think that cell phones would survive the immediate aftermath of the zombie apocalypse. We’ll call “immediate aftermath” one week. Suspend disbelief with us and assume all cell sites and wireless networks wouldn’t dissolve simultaneously, because it’s an apocalypse brought on by zombies, and [...]

Really, I wonder what’s up with Europe. They seem to be going more than a little deranged with their Zombie-bashing of late, which we’ve talked about here on the ZRC recently (as well as their oppression of even those who resemble Zombies a bit too much): The Netherlands France Sweden Germany What do all these [...]

I’ve talked previously about how the Zombie Rights Movement could take inspiration, if not exactly tactical advice, from the world of comic book superheroes the ‘X-Men’. How perhaps the best method for those who are Different to change the minds of the general fearful mass of humanity might be to simply, and visibly, do good [...]

Here at The ZRC we produce a lot of Zombie Friendly, positive imagery of the Zombie Community to help further peaceful coexistence and mutual understanding between the Undead and the Living. Some others out there have very different goals, however. Witness this vicious Anti-Zombie propaganda poster from bizarre alternate history site LostZombies.com: Odious, isn’t it? [...]
