Tired of the "Zombie Apocalypse" marketing?

Register to hide this ad
I started a thread like this last weekend....

...to say I am BEYOND sick and tired of it is an understatement. It's like going into a camping goods isle and find every knife on the rack has Bear Grylls pic and name on it...

ARRRRRGGGGHHHH!
 
I'm not tired of the Zombie stuff. I enjoy zombie movies, video games. If i don't want to see the Zombie stuff, I turn off the tv, or walk to a different area of the store.
Is it over the top, absolutely, but there are other things that irritate me far more than Zombie gear, ammo, targets, etc.
Capitalism at its best.
 
I opted out on Brownells zombie email. This is quite possibly the most absurd idea I have ever seen.

Regards

Bill
 
So........your're saying the 5000 rds of Zombie 45 ammo I bought at $50 per 20 rds was a mistake?????
 
I knew I was officially all "Zombied" out when I saw the Zombie Addition LCP. Com'on, everyone knows you need at least a 9mm to take down the undead. Unless of course you use those Zombie-rated green tracers in .380.

I was probably a good thing I was broke when that gun hit the market :o
 
Last weekend, I went out for a cocktail with my wife, who had heard about a place with good bloody marys. When we got to town, we found the neighborhood overrun with college kids in costume for a "Zombie Walk". We pressed on, regardless, and found ourselves chatting with a series of 20-somethings in zombie drag.

I felt duty-bound to advise them that walking around in zombie costume was a dangerous thing to do. There were guys out hunting real zombies armed with 12 ga. Saigas with 30-round mags. Because the safety of the public is paramount, one of these legit zombie hunters would probably feel it necessary to gun down anyone in costume if they couldn't tell the difference from a real zombie. The more realistic the costume, the greater the hazard. Not trying to tell these kids how to party or anything, but a word to the wise...
 
I'm not sure that it has quite reached apocalyptic levels yet, but there are countless zombies walking, driving, texting - thousands at a time - on any given day.
Just look around, you'll see 'em. :D
 
Based on the chatter in recent threads here, I'm pretty sure that we'll likely see all this silly "zombie" nonsense fading away, given the manifestly more ominous and demonstrably more imminent threat posed by mysterious large felines, most of them sinisterly black in color, which are ostensibly prowling our eastern wildlands and even suburban neighborhoods, while remaining blithely unacknowledged or even denied, by the thin green line of wildlife management authorities. Staggering, lurching, brain-dead zombies, as already demonstrated by WalMart and Costco shoppers, are merely an annoyance, but when populations of these cryptic cats reach critical mass, Katy bar the door. I advise stocking up on any available dramatically depicted large cat paper targets, advertised "kitty-killer" ammo, catnip (a distracting deterrent), and chain-mail longjohns, as a defensive precaution.

Just go to any Sangrio...I firmly believe that Hello Kitty is a conspriacy...and I am afraid.

It might sound odd, but I've thought the same thing--but about bigfoot re-enactors.

There are all kinds of nuts in the world. Honey Boo Boo has lots of past lovers, if you catch my drift. A guy might buy an old gorilla costume to scare his buddies, and run into a whacko.

Now, I doubt this might happen on a college campus a few days before Halloween, but I've seen numerous *patients* wandering around Madison talking to themselves. Technically, you could run into one these guys who is "zombaphobic."
