A Very Specific Zombie Pub Crawl

I’ve heard of niche marketing but I have to say this is slicing your demographics a tiny bit thin:

In Whittier, CA July 9th 2011? Cirque de Zombie

So this sounds as if it could be fun. Not only is it a zombie pub crawl but its a THEMED zombie pub crawl. Yes they want a specific type of zombie for this one – clown zombies. So if you are in the area get some undead loving friends together and get set for a night of drinking and eating! (…not the living.)

Yes, they want Undead clowns, or at least appropriately costumed Living people, to show up to the bars. Apparently there may be music and other fun stuff, and it all seems to be well-intentioned, but I have a few questions on behalf of the ZRC.

1) Why Zombie Clowns? I don’t think that there’s a large subculture from the clown profession in the Differently Animated community.

2) Is being associated with clowns really good for Zombies? I mean, let’s face it; clowns? They’re utterly terrifying.

Now, I know that there are undoubtedly many very nice clowns, and I understand that, intellectually, but still; they’re terrifying.

Zombies might have enough problems without getting ‘terror by association’ from clowns, as it were.

Still, on the whole, I guess they mean well. We hope the event goes off without a hitch and maybe it can work to improve the public image of clowns a bit by associating them with Zombies at the same time as it helps familiarize the drinking population with the Differently Animated.
