Yes, ‘The Walking Dead’ will be back on Sunday, showcasing the latest and ‘greatest’ in Anti-Zombie violence from the frankly disturbing mind of Robert Kirkman. This leads to a lot of breathlessly happy reporting on the season debut, and tragically stereotyped reporting on the Differently Animated. From Discovery News to CNN, it is a media [...]

A while ago I started, but sadly did not finish, watching an anime series about a necromancer and his Zombie friend called ‘Sankarea’. Well, Funimation is bringing it to America and they’ve got an English language trailer up: Bearing in mind that I didn’t finish the show (yet), the ZRC feels that Sankarea was on [...]

Well, this is truly a disheartening example of media pandering: Discovery Channel has ordered the documentary special Zombie Apocalypse, which examines whether a walking dead-style invasion is actually possible and introduces a quartet of people from various backgrounds who are readying themselves, just in case. Sigh… Really, Discovery Channel? You’re pushing Living Supremacism on an [...]

The Zombie Rights Campaign has addressed the issue of Anti-Zombie bias in Joss Whedon’s work before, but I have to admit I didn’t think Mr. Whedon would air his Living Supremacist dirty laundry again in such a high-profile fashion, especially in a naked attempt to influence a major election. But he has. So let’s talk [...]

The controversy over AMC and Dish Network may have dominated ‘Walking Dead’ news over the summer, but now that the actual season is approaching the media blitz/glorification of Anti-Zombie violence is getting under way: Newly released images from the upcoming third season of “The Walking Dead” hold the promise of even more bloody zombie action, [...]

Even on our short break the ZRC couldn’t help but notice the increasingly creative desperation AMC has to get ‘The Walking Dead’ back before millions of American satellite TV customers after a dispute with Dish Network. I mean, running a fake presidential campaign? That’s both ambitious and bizarre: A. Zombie, billed as the nation’s first [...]

The ZRC loved Zombie Bohemia. I mean, seriously loved it. A Zombie Friendly story about an Undead *artist* struggling to make an Unliving in the hyper-competitive Fine Arts world? And a cast and crew open to constructive criticism and advice from the Undead Rights Movement? Excellent. Now you, lucky Zombie Rights Allies of the Internet, [...]

Finally some good news about Zombies in the media: BBC Drama Production has secured four new drama commissions: Frankie, The Musketeers and The Lady Vanishes for BBC One and and In The Flesh for BBC Three. … In The Flesh is a three-part event drama, the first TV commission for Dominic Mitchell. It was developed [...]

The ZRC blog has previously reported on the trend (one might say epidemic) of Anti-Zombie library programs for kids. Well, here’s a library program that seems more Zombie Friendly and less Living Supremacist, once you get past mainstream media bias: f brain-hungry zombies were going to attack somewhere, the library would probably be one of [...]

The ZRC is always cautious about just putting Zombies into any old story for the novelty’s sake, because usually that novelty is anything but novel and degenerates to an Anti-Zombie pogrom, but handled properly, this sounds like it could be a bit more interesting: Castle has an episode coming up that’s hopping on board a [...]
