It’s bad enough that Robert Kirkman’s Walking Dead series has proliferated into television, but now they’re undermining legitimate Zombie protest marches with their own crude imitations, all in the name of promoting their violent, Living Supremacist propaganda:

In anticipation of the premiere of AMC’s new series The Walking Dead on Sun., Oct. 31 at 10/9c, AMC and FOX international networks plan to stage a worldwide zombie invasion stunt.

The Walking Dead’s international broadcaster, Fox International Channels (FIC), will kick-off the stunts with overseas invasions beginning at daybreak in Taipei and Hong Kong on Tue., Oct. 26, and moving across the globe where the stunt culminates at the show’s Los Angeles premiere.

A week prior to the unprecedented global premiere of the show, AMC and FIC have planned to target one day multi-city events that will occur during morning commute peak hours. Taking direction from The Walking Dead’s legendary make-up artist Greg Nicotero, hundreds of zombies will consecutively take over major cities worldwide during a 24-hour period.

Once again the big corporate Military-Entertainment-Redneck-Industrial Complex has decided that if it can’t beat our movement it will co-opt our tactics. We saw this with Dead Rising 2 and its faux-Zombie Rights activists, and now they steal our signature Zombie Marches as well.

It is at least a small comfort that their patent lack of original ideas reeks of desperation.
