For the upcoming zombie apocalypse, of course.  No, alex, there are no clowns there.  At least not on that page.  I'm thinking that clown pictures might make a good training aid, though.

Just in case you were one of the ten people who saw Pathogen, the documentary about its making is screening in Ottawa, Overland Park, and New York City this weekend.

What is it about visionary filmmakers named George who become utter douches in their later years?

Good to see a Zombie Disposal Squad is being assembled, especially in a large metropolitan area, as outbreaks can spiral out of control very quickly in a city.

I am so hoping there are scary clown zombies in this campaign...

The Moveon.org zombie apparently then left. At a walk. And none of his Moveon.org colleagues stopped him. And then they themselves later walked through the crime scene.

Students at Carleton University and the University of Ottawa have published a paper in a book titled Infectious Disease Modelling Research Progress detailing how to model the spread of a zombie population and various complications in managing the spread of the infestation. They even give humans a fighting chance in some cases!

Seriously, we could use more of this on our airwaves:



I mean, "How I Met Your Mother" is funny enough, but if Neil Patrick Harris and Allyson Hannigan happened to be toting a shotgun or a chainsaw and killing a zombie or two during every episode? I see viewership trending upward.

Zombie. Storm Troopers.

Seriously, all the win.

Please please please make this a movie with Milla in it.  I've been good!  I totally haven't smote all those who need smiting!

In case you don't know what a red trailer is, don't watch this in earshot of anyone who could fire you or who you don't want repeating "cockblocking robot".

So I just want to make sure I have this right.  A movie is filmed about raising the flag at Iwo Jima, no African-Americans are included, so it's racist.  A company doesn't hire a minority because there's a more qualified applicant who happens to be a white male, so it's racist.  Creating a video game set in a city that prides itself on its high percentage of African-Americans, and including in that video game African-Americans both in the main characters and in the thousands of walk-on characters?  Yeah, that's racist too.

Can someone please explain this to me?  Is there some genetic benefit tied to skin tone that renders African-Americans impervious to the virus that created the thousands of screaming horde infected?  For that matter, was Louis the only African-American to be found in the city where the original four survivors did battle?*  Why isn't anyone crying racism over the original game?  And dammit, where are the Asians and Hispanics?!

(doubleplusundead) This isn't the first time some media tool threw a bitchfit because some developer had the audacity to include black zombies in a video game set in a location with a large black population, BTW.

_{*I've since noticed in a comment at the linked post that apparently there are African-American infected in the original game.  Either that means I don't really notice race on video games, or I'm a racist for looking right through them.  Probably the latter.}

I mean, how will we be able to be warned of the looming zombie stripper menace?

A contractor’s traffic sign on the Powell just east of the Ross Island Bridge overnight Wednesday read “Caution zombie strippers."

The sign had been switched off by Thursday morning.

Is it just me, or are the infected bleeding more?

If so, you might want to invest in this cool WWII bunker that a British developer converted into a vacation home. Since it's a converted bunker, it's got one feature that most other homes don't:

"It's just like an ordinary four-bedroom bungalow, it's not dark or anything. But it's very secure. There could be a zombie attack and nothing would get in."

I'm starting to wonder if slow zombies are a thing of the past.
