It’s always disturbing to learn that an icon in public life is an Anti-Zombie bigot. I mean, Max Brooks made a name for himself being evil, but undoubtedly some comic book fans were disheartened when Robert Kirkman showed his true colors. Woody Harrelson? I never saw that one coming. But the Cookie Monster, beloved children’s [...]

Annalee Newitz, who Wikipedia says is allegedly a journalist (we have our doubts), is the latest to try and tie Zombies to something that she personally finds unpleasant in a pop-science article. Of course, she had to one-up the legion of quasi-writers tying Zombies to dying ants, mental illnesses or communicable diseases, so Ms. Newitz [...]

As if you hadn’t been deluged enough already with ‘World War Z’ news, the mega-production of evil is rolling ever onward: Now, having bought the rights in 2007, Brad Pitt has finally began filming his zombie film World War Z And fans have been given their first glimpse of the living dead as filming continued [...]

Another day, another tenuous excuse to bash Zombies when talking about anything unpleasant to the writer. Case in point: in 2005 Hurricane Katrina devastated New Orleans, or to be more precise, it triggered the complete collapse of ridiculously antiquated and defective flood control systems, and the subsequent waters devastated New Orleans. A Six Flags park [...]

So Seattle and New Jersey have a rivalry going over holding the title of the World’s Largest Zombie Walk from the Guinness people (records, not beer) and apparently Seattle was slated to have another go on Saturday. The media coverage is.. shallow but supportive: There’s something alluring about zombies — that white skin, those sunken [...]

We’ve mentioned the growing wave of ‘pranks’ sabotaging roadside electronic signs to feed the public Living Supremacist warnings about imminent attacks by the Differently Animated. Guess what? It’s not just a US problem anymore: Commuters in the St. John’s area who might have been expecting a heads-up about construction delays were instead warned about something [...]

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: Dealing With The Guy Who’s Clearly Hiding a Zombie Bite — powered by Cracked.com See, they [...]

Is there anything that can’t be tied to hating the Differently Animated these days? Perhaps you thought to yourself at one point, ‘The Space Program seems like a fairly safe topic. Surely I can read up on NASA without finding ugly, Living Supremacist rhetoric in my web browser.’ Would that it were so, Zombie Ally. [...]

I had sincerely hoped that this behemoth of Anti-Zombie prejudice masquerading as a film would crash and burn, but it seems that ‘World War Z’ is a reality we will have to confront for some time to come: This summer World War Z is going to be shot within England and they need a TON [...]

Now, we’re not in this business for the fame or adulation, but I’d like to think that The Zombie Rights Campaign has, by now, earned a little bit of recognition as a leader in the burgeoning Zombie Rights Movement, at least here in America. Yet this poll to determine the ‘Best Zombie Site’ not only [...]
