Who came up with the idea of all these zombie movies? Never seen anything like it until the 21st Century.

More evidence we are in the closing decades of the end of the age.

Here the peeps are FReeps. We have a good grip on reality
so this is entertainment for us. I’m not saying that
you are being preachie but your cyber ink might be
put to better use addressing those without a life
elsewhere.

well there is a really good story behind it.

the original writer was fed up with all the insane hippy, ‘love your body, love yourself’ stuff e.g.
if you are vegetarian you will live forever
if you eat fruit you wont get cancer
if you give up drinking and smoking you will be far healthier.
etc

the story goes, that the reason zombies are slow and stupid is they represent what life is like. you being young and healthy, someone who jogs and believes the latest food fad, can run thru the zombies and not get bitten. you can dodge and weave and even kill the zombies but there is never enough bullets or bats or knives... eventually and when you least expect it you get bitten and die.

he wanted to send a message to people. sure, stop smoking, or eat only vegetables, but sooner or later you will die from ‘something’ and when you least expect it, so go live your life as best you can and stop believing in stupid s***.

an interesting take dont you think?

now he was far more eloquent than me above, thats the cliff notes version.

no one else can be portrayed as a villain without triggering some group.
