Zombiecon 2010

As many of you zombies know, this year our theme is brainless politics and zombie protest. This weekend we encourage you to interpret creatively, in that any way you want. We especially hope that you'll make and bring some zombie protest signs for something big we have planned..... to get you started, here are some slogan ideas for your sign...

"Eat the Poor"
"Repeal the Death Tax!"
"The Socialist Obama Nation is no place to live"
"Blood For Oil!"
"Yes I once dabbled in Witchcraft, but I am still a viable candidate" -Christine O'Donnell
"Yes We Can EAT YOUR BRAINS"
"Necrophilia is a Lifestyle Choice!"
"Death Panel of One"
"I'll give you my gun when you take it from my *cold*, *dead hands*!" -Charlton Heston
"In Brains We Trust"
"Die Free or Live!"
"Drill Baby Drill: A hole in your head"
"Just because I look like an Abortion doesn't mean I support them"
"End World Hunger - Eat Babies"
"Read my Rotting Skull: No New Taxes"
"You think these burns look bad? You should see my Koran"
"Socialism is for the living"
"These Colors Don't Ooze"
"Die now and avoid the Death Tax."
"Thank God I am a Zombie"
"Give me Brains or Give me Death"
"Pro-Zombie, Pro-Life"
"This Mamma Grizzly gonna eat your brains"
"The Obama Nation Is an Abomination, now prepare for Zombification"
"Gay Marriage is unnatural"
"My Momma voted for Obama, so I ate her brains"
"Lazarus, come out! The dead man came out, his hands and feet wrapped with
strips of linen, and a cloth around his face."
Jesus said to them, "Take off the grave clothes and let him go." -John

There's a difference between looking like a zombie and looking like you sustained an injury. Unfortunately most of the people pictured don't know that difference.

Not to be a downer but I feel like exercises like this will make us complacent when a real zombie attack strikes.

well in their defense that's why they need to eat brains.

Do Zombies sometimes dip their lunchtime brain snack into hummus for a little extra flavor?

I'm conflicted as to which I hate more, Zombies, Hipsters, or Zombie Hipsters.
