We’ve written about how Australia censors pornography featuring Zombies, most likely out of a deep-seated and irrational hatred of the Differently Animated, previously here on the ZRC blog.

However it looks like the forces of oppression have decided to up the ante considerably:

An Australian film festival director’s home was raided Thursday as authorities searched for a Canadian zombie porn flick.

Melbourne Underground Film Festival (MUFF) director Richard Wolstencroft told the Australian Associated Press (AAP) Thursday police raided his home at 9 a.m. because the festival showed the movie L.A. Zombie during a special “protest” screening in August. The film was banned by the Australian Classification Board just before the Melbourne International Film Festival in July.

Yes, that’s right, the jackbooted forces of Anti-Zombie oppression are using force to suppress the views of anyone deemed insufficiently Anti-Zombie in Australia, and their first movie is against film festivals daring enough to show something different, something that breaks out of the Romero-Fulci tradition of demonization, even if only a tiny bit.

The Zombie Rights Campaign is appalled by this turn of events in Australia. We believe in free speech here at the ZRC; we especially believe in free speech for Zombies, as it is a critical tool in fighting Living Supremacist views and preventing further Anti-Zombie oppression. Naturally, therefore, we find the Australian Police State’s actions in this case completely unacceptable, and call upon those in power to reconsider their policies on Zombie film, which are not just aimed at Zombies anymore, but rather, at the heart of Democracy itself.
