‘Vote Zombies’ Shirt Attempts to Marginalize Zombie Participation in Political Process

| March 15, 2012

We at The Zombie Rights Campaign have long believed that Zombies should have, and must demand (peacefully of course) a place at the table when it comes to politics. Showing solidarity with their fellow Undead, Zombie Walks for particular causes, meetings with public officials and vote-seekers, all are appropriate methods for the Differently Animated to [...]

‘Zombie Research Society’ Debuts Cool (But Still Troublesome) Zombie Poster

| March 9, 2012

It’s well-known that we don’t get along with the ‘Zombie Research Society’ here at The Zombie Rights Campaign; their ‘research’ is geared toward hurting the Undead, and they certainly don’t want Zombies to have rights. Which, to be clear, is a bigoted and offensive position to take. Meanies. This poster they’ve commissioned for their Undead-bashing [...]

Lenovo Uses (Unauthorized?) Anti-Zombie Violence to Promote Laptops

| February 9, 2012

In the growing Tablet pc era laptops are often seen as an endangered species* and the question of how to promote the older form factor against the very trendy tablet market seems to be driving some computer makers barmy. Or, in the case of Lenovo, into simulated Anti-Zombie violence: Behold the first absolutely wacky advertisement [...]

Using Fear of the ‘Zombie Apocalypse’ to Sell Cloud-Based Software? To Dentists?

| February 5, 2012

Truly some of the stuff we come across here at the ZRC is so bizarre it feels like the entire universe might be pulling a fast one on us. Case in point, a lengthy blog post that attempts to use the fear of a ‘Zombie Apocalypse’ to push the concept of web-based software for dentists: [...]

‘Transformers: Prime’ and the Long, Ugly History of Zombie-Bashing by ‘Transformers’

| February 4, 2012

I can’t say I’ve kept up on Transformers as much as my kid-self would’ve liked. (Man I loved that Sky Lynx toy. A part of me always will) Still, via reading the webcomic Shortpacked! I still get a dose of Transformers from time to time, and indirectly, that’s how I discovered that the latest Transformers [...]

Something Max Brooks and the ZRC Could Agree On: This Anti-Zombie Weapon is Silly

| January 27, 2012

Gizmodo approvingly writes up a bizarre and almost-hilariously-impractical Anti-Zombie weapon modification, hilarious that is except that some gun-toting survivalist nerd will probably try to use it for real on a poor, innocent Zombie: The zombie fad will soon be as old and tired as steampunk, but ridiculous creations like this electric chainsaw accessory designed to [...]

‘Zombie Apocalypse Store’ in Vegas Shows How Low People Will Stoop for Money

| January 27, 2012

I suppose given the absolute glut of Anti-Zombie merchandise on the market today it was only a matter of time until someone decided to open a brick and mortar emporium dedicated to hating and fearing the Undead, but, wow: If and when the world is taken over by zombies — or another type of menace, [...]

‘Acquired Taste’ Shirt Could’ve Been a Contender

| January 25, 2012

Last week at the Art Director’s day job I was having lunch, and on the way back from the tray return in the cafeteria saw a Zombie-related shirt. Unfortunately I missed my chance to flag down the man wearing it so I could inquire as to its origin, and I went home wondering if I’d [...]

BuyZombie periodically explores deep into the heart of online randomness merchant site Etsy.com in order to explore for Zombie-related purchases, and we always read their findings with interest. It’s good to know what people are peddling related to Zombies! This latest foray is no different. A highlight and a lowlight (is that a word?) follow: [...]
