There’s been a distinct trend of advertising in the last year or so that’s not Unfriendly to the Differently Animated. Case in point, a Doritos ad from a little while ago that the BuyZombie crew pointed us toward: I don’t know how we missed that. It plays with the stereotypical ‘scary Zombie’ tropes quite well, [...]

The ZRC was linked to this video on Twitter and it provoked mixed reactions. It’s basically catchy pop-culture infused nerd rap-rock and quite easy to listen to, and Zombie Ninjas are at least somewhat novel. However, in spite of these fictional Zombies from the song apparently being stealthy superpowered action heroes, they’re also very stereotypical [...]

I don’t know how I missed this appalling little picture book but io9, frequent purveyors of Anti-Zombiism, had a small feature on it a while back: Check out some exclusive pages from Z is for Zombie by Adam-Troy Castro, with illustrations by Johnny Atomic, coming next week from Harper Voyager. As John Scalzi says, “It’s [...]

I don’t mean to be too hard on this shirt, I think it tries hard and the core message is pretty Zombie Friendly: Still I have to ask, why can’t you be a Zombie in *this* life? Is it really that big a distinction that a person dies (briefly and temporarily) then comes back as [...]

We commented previously on the trailer for ‘Rigamortis: A Zombie Love Story’ here on the ZRC blog and were subsequently informed via the comments that the movie had gone up for free on Youtube for a limited time. Having watched the movie in its entirety now, I can safely say that The Zombie Rights Campaign [...]

The ZRC followed ‘Kore wa Zombie Desu ka’ with interest here on the blog, from the initial announcement through to its simulcast premiere and screening, and overall, we liked it quite a bit. Oddly enough I never went back and completed a review for the show, despite watching every episode, and I’m reminded of that [...]

Oh how long it can be between Zombie Friendly products the ZRC gets to review, and how precious they are to us after a long day defending the Differently Animated from Vitality-Normative ideas, ideas like ‘A person has to have a heartbeat’ or ‘Undead people belong in cemeteries, right?’ Wrong. Just wrong! Fortunately those Zombie [...]

There really isn’t that much to say about ‘Dead Meat’ yet; it’s free, it updates weekly, and it’s virulently Anti-Zombie. … What, that’s not enough? Ok. It’s been updating for a few weeks now and ‘Dead Meat’ seems to concern a post-apocalyptic world somewhat like Fallout, only due to, what else, the Zombie Apocalypse. If [...]

Great, just what we need: scorekeeping for Anti-Zombie bigots and their acts of violence: Shirt: Zombie Killer Some people like to keep a tally of the number of things they do. Sometimes its how many women a guy has slept with, sometimes its how many men a woman has slept with, sometimes its how many [...]

I’ve been meaning to get to this review for a while now but had to let it digest a while, so to speak. ‘Zombie High Yearbook ’64′ is a very unusual piece of alternate universe fiction cleverly disguised as a primary artifact from that same parallel history; in a world where the Undead were predominantly [...]
