What is it with the stereotype about women in failed relationships going mental, anyway? Is it a misogyny thing? Why don’t men get the same treatment by pop-culture, anyway? Regardless, it’s a trope older than dirt. Heav’n has no Rage, like Love to Hatred turn’d, Nor Hell a Fury, like a Woman scorn’d. More recently, [...]

(the book in question) We wrote about the hateful and odious piece of Anti-Zombie propaganda directed at children from our nemeses at the ZRS before here on the ZRC blog: I’m sorry, but this is just heinous, intentional Anti-Zombie indoctrination of children.

We support charity fundraising here at the ZRC; quite often, actually. So even though the evil fearmongers and Anti-Zombie pushers at PopCap are our sworn enemies, we feel that we should lend a hand promoting their new charitable endeavour: Popcap Games—the team behind Plants vs Zombies, Bejeweled, and Peggle—is reaching into its big vault of [...]
