It doesn’t really bother me, because I went into Facebook assuming it was evil, but many users hate it. So it might be a PR misstep for [...]

Unsatisfied with tying Zombies to every social ill rhetorically, some woefully ignorant individuals are stooping to forging the link between Undeath and various unpleasant things themselves: Gainesville Police Department Lt.

Is there anything more soul-crushing than ‘Reality TV’? I mean, aside from the train-wreck-worthy shows where people compete at belting out showtunes in front of millions upon millions of viewers who really could get much better free music by just going to Pandora, you have shows that feature people eating live bugs or swapping spouses [...]

It has been a momentous year for Zombie Rights. The ZRC has done outreach galore, dipped our toes into political controversy, led a Zombie Rights rally in Illinois and even participated in the world’s first (to our knowledge) Zombie Rights Debate in Victoria, Texas. But this post isn’t about us. Standing up for the rights [...]

Really, when you’re using profanity just for attention in the title I don’t hold out much hope for a reasoned examination of the plight of the Differently Animated: Note: the special effects will apparently be added later via CG. So, what’s this about? Besides defaming the Undead? You’ll never guess: A band of survivors unite [...]
