Geeky rock personalities just can’t seem to stay away from bashing the Undead. Jonathon Coulton famously made his bones with ‘Re: Your Brains’, now Kirby Krackle puts out an animated video to accompany their song ‘Zombie Apocalypse’, featuring many hateful and negative stereotypes about the Differently Animated.

From a Zombie Rights perspective this video is a borderline atrocity. The main character seen in the video, through the course of the song, abandons his friends, his civilization, and even his family to hide himself away as crude caricatures of the Differently Animated tear through the city streets, devouring the living and shambling slowly about in search of fresh human food (your standard Romero scenario).

Shockingly, said individual displays wanton prejudice in rejecting his friend who comes all the way for a visit merely because he has become Undead on the trip across town with a glib remark about a small patch of missing flesh around his friend’s jaw; is friendship only skin for Kirby Krackle?

Even worse, if one can believe it, the protagonist executes his own parents merely for joining the Zombie community, burying them in the backyard. Matricide? Patricide? Truly grotesque!

For these reasons the ZRC is forced to award this catchy music video/hate crime our lowest rating, the ‘Living Supremacist’ designation. For shame, Kirky Krackle. For shame.

This music video and song have both been rated ‘LS’ for ‘Living Supremacist’ by The Zombie Rights Campaign.
