digitaldisciplineI admit it - I don't understand the zombie thing. It's cool that everyone survived (on a diet of brains, or by not having theirs eaten), but, really... what the fuck is so cool about zombies?
They fall into the same category of pop cultural iconography as reality television and cooking shows and Harry Potter and certain serial dramas - "shit of which I do not 'get' the hipness."
[and, yes, I did read the MEAD, and was entertained by everyone's cleverness... but it's like watching opera - I have no fucking idea what the attraction is, and can only barely grasp what others might see in it.]
So, in summary, Zombies = Opera
