1. The hand that rocks the crypt wears the bangles.

2. It… umm… appears to be deliberate, and not a hack.

3. Oh I don’t know. I think it’s pretty awesome but we can’t let it spread! I’ll be headed over to the local Sears armed with luck, a death wish and my trusty shotgun. Wish me luck!

6. As my youngest daughter points out, “it’s important to know what type of Zombie you’re dealing with. Some need to be decapitated, and others need simply be shot in the head; those are the good kind.”

11. My buddy Simon Pegg, and I, will be off to Sears soon…..

    As someone who has to spend more time with media-“savvy” twenty-something hipsters than I’d really like, I really only have one thing to say: enough with the zombie apocalypse, already. It’s done. It stopped being cool after the first couple of modernized updates, and now even the parodies are just repeating the other parodies.
    The original The Walking Dead comic book series is an excellent zombie apocalypse story, btw, told with surprising candor and depth, but as this point it’s like writing a fantasy trilogy about a an elf, a dwarf, two hobbits and a couple of Men who have to destroy an ancient artifact to save the world from the Dark Evil. Even if you’re Isaac Arthur McHemingway-Tolstoy, it’s not going to save you from the sheer overexposure of the concept.
    As for Sears – I wish this surprised me. I’ve been mentoring junior IT staff for years, but it’s only within the last couple of years that I’ve had to explicitly explain the concept of professionalism to the incoming recruits. They honestly seem to to not get that replacing the company logo on the intranet site with a lolcat is Not Appropriate Behaviour.

    Sorry, it had to be mentioned.

14. Totally unrealistic! If that was a real Sears store in October, you would have seen lots of Christmas decorations in the background behind the authentically undead staff.
