Say what you will about the burning issue of Zombie Rights, the signs from this protest march yesterday are just hi-larious.
“Mairage = 1 Zombie + 1 Zombie”
“Brains…The Other White Meat”
“Hungry”
“We’re here, we’re dead, get used to it!” and “Zombies Was People Too.”
(via BoingBoing)
You left out the best part! There was a counter-protest staged by pirates!
“Walking dead should walk the plank”
I’m with Avocet: the Pirates Against Zombies counter-protest was the the part that really set me to laughing. Now if they called themselves “Stupid Pirates Against Zombies” they’d even have a great acronym!
My favourite Zombie slogan comes from a Discworld novel: “Undead, but not an Unperson!”
They should have had ninjas, too.
This reminds me of the Montreal Zombie Attack from last year, when zombies invaded a D&D-style LARP session one Sunday afternoon. My favourite quote from the newspaper article in the Montreal Gazette is this:
“It might be expected that the medievalists, having never experienced an intrusion into their Sunday reality, would have been stunned when a small army of dishevelled zombies staggered out of the woods toward them. But this was not the case.
“It was like they had been waiting for this moment for their entire lives,” Guay said. (my emphasis)
“They formed a battle line and charged,” said Kate Irvine, 20, another message board regular and spectator. “They didn’t stop and look confused even for a second.”

That’s funny.
And vaguely reminiscent of the Civil War Re-enactors clashing with the Klingons clashing with the Storm Troopers story line in PvP.
