Here at The Zombie Rights Campaign we’re very concerned about official Anti-Zombie prejudice deriving from the negative stereotypes you see in popular culture. It’s certainly a problem when Robert Kirkman flaunts his hatred of the Differently Animated; it’s much more of a problem with official government agencies do it. Zombies have Civil Rights too. So [...]

If you’ve been on the internet the last few years, no doubt you have seen the seemingly endless parade of ‘TED Talks’, or ‘lifehacks’, and such. Videos or articles outlining supposedly revolutionary ways to view the world or change our behaviors to improve our lives. Well, what if Zombies, in a ‘Zombie Apocalypse’ scenario, had [...]

This is a very catchy song. About Zombies. It has a fairly positive and occasionally quite sympathetic portrayal of Zombies. But… well, just wait until the ending. I’m afraid we can’t endorse this sort of ultimately destructive relationship, even in the name of Living-Undead alliance. Still, if you need something to listen to today, it [...]

You may remember Mad Lab Productions from an entire series of Zombie stop-animations we’ve critiqued here on the ZRC blog; there are some issues with retrograde Zombie stereotyping in their work, but also a measure of sympathy for the Undead that is highly unusual. Mad Lab’s latest short film, ‘Undying Love’, exhibits a similar mix. [...]

For those not hugely into internet memes, an Australian train company released a viral video ad campaign to promote safety around railroads called ‘Dumb Ways to Die’. It took off rather quickly, and as of now, has about 35 million views on Youtube. Naturally this led to parodies, and in particular we can heartily recommend [...]

Truly a bizarre story out of Illinois, especially considering that it’s home to the Zombie Friendly city of Chicago (where we recently marched for Zombie Rights, for instance): Still they are HILARIOUS that my home state of Illinois put ZOMBIES IN THEIR COMMERCIALS! So much of awesomeness here. The Illinois Department of Transportation really has [...]

We don’t get along well with the Anti-Zombie ‘researchers’ at the Zombie Research Society. As you might imagine. Still, The Zombie Rights Campaign is behind them 100% on this one: Check out this laughable attempt to update Michael Jackson’s “Thriller” dance in an Indian movie called Donga. The clip and film aren’t knew, but it’s [...]

Upcoming and clearly Living Supremacist game ‘Lollipop Chainsaw’ (out June 12th in America) is just TRYING to antagonize the Zombie Rights movement even further with their gross (and grossly offensive) internet campaign, I swear: A special laundry detergent to remove evidence of your gruesome massacres? Wow, that sounds like something a non-sociopathic individual would want [...]

Although it’s often overlooked these days, Anti-Zombie prejudice in America was long associated with Zombies of a supernatural or religious origin rather than the Zombiism of a biological or chemical nature that so paralyzes the public consciousness lately. Zombies were supposedly a symptom of the dangerous Other, a spiritual or cultural affliction, one that presumably [...]

ZRC pal Michelle Hartz, author of ‘Brains for the Zombie Soul’ (which you’ll be able to buy at Horrorhound in ONE WEEK), sent us a link to this webseries featuring a mortician answering questions about death, and, here, about Zombies: I have to say, this is a truly unfortunate mishmash of fact and prejudice. Zombies [...]
