When I see this shirt, I can’t help but think of one of the (precious few) thoughtful moments in the X-Men movies, a conversation between Mystique and Nightcrawler in X2:

Nightcrawler: Excuse me? They say you can imitate anybody, even their voice.
Mystique: [as Nightcrawler] Even their voice.
Nightcrawler: Then why not stay in disguise all the time? You know, look like everyone else.
Mystique: Because we shouldn’t have to.

Zombies Anonymous. What to say about that.

Should Zombies have to be anonymous? Clearly not.

I can see why they might need to stay that way, in our current, Anti-Zombie society, but… it’s unfortunate. I’m also not quite sure how to take ‘Mortally challenged’. Generally, being mortal is seen as a bad thing. Ah, well.

At the site actually selling said shirt, they have this description:

My name is Jon Limb-Dangler and I’m a Zombie. Show your support for the mortally challanged in this Zombies Anonymous shirt, screened on a red shirt with black and white printing. Zombies like Jon here need a friend, support your local Zombie! See all our funny Zombie t shirts. Dawn of the Dead, Night of the Living Dead fans this t shirt is for you.

Indeed, support your local Zombie! Zombies do need support, which is what we’re all about here at the ZRC.

I’m not sure where liking those awful Romero movies comes into it, however.

Still, on the whole, given the message the sellers are putting out there, and the shirt itself, the ZRC thinks we can award this design our coveted ‘Zombie Friendly rating:
