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:

See, they fool you a bit, don’t they? It starts off with a classic hateful scene right out of Romero, ‘Zombies’ bashing down the poorly fortified entrances of a house, moaning, groaning for flesh and the like, a group of survivors huddling in the living room, down to the last bullet in the one remaining gun..

But then things get, well, complicated, don’t they? When you have to take into account the feelings of the Zombie population, suddenly it’s not as simple as grabbing a shotgun and a handful of nails before you squat in some abandoned home.

Which is where the Zombie Rights Movement comes in. We already consider those feelings, and are looking for solutions, peaceful methods of coexistence and brotherhood between the Differently Animated and the Living. It’s what we do.

Meanwhile, we have a video to review. For making a good-faith but still somewhat biased attempt at sending up the ‘Zombie Apocalypse’ mythology, we award ‘Dealing With The Guy Who’s Clearly Hiding a Zombie Bite’ our second-best rating, that of Zombie Tolerant.

Nice effort, people.
