I finally got around to watching the 1st season of The Walking Dead. I probably won’t be watching the 2nd season, and the image above is why. That’s a google map of gun shops in the Atlanta area (where the show is supposed to take place). Note that google only puts pins on the first 10 results and every one of those little pink dots is a store that sells guns.
Now I can deal with all the whining and petty human bullshit that infuses the show, but I cannot stomach how half a dozen guns in a duffel bag became one of the primary motivators for half the season. It’s the south. There are guns everywhere! Break into any house and check the nightstand in the master bedroom - even odds there’s a gun in there. Same goes for the glove compartment (or, FFS, the gun rack) of any random vehicle. If you’re picky, just head to any of those pink dots and get your shopping spree on.
Sometimes I wish I could just shut my brain off and enjoy shows despite stupid shit like this, but I can’t. I am cursed by my superior intellect.
Zombaritaville is, without question, the greatest zombie song parody blog on the internet. It’s probably the only zombie song parody blog on the internet, but with lyrics this good, I can see why nobody else even tries to compete.
To the tune of “Blowin’ In The Wind” by Bob Dylan
Yes, n’ how many folks must cease to exist Before it’s called a “killing spree”? Yes, n’ how many years in this mall can we subsist ‘Til we’re forced by bikers to flee? Yes, n’ how many towns must shamblers infest Before they all turn to debris? The zombies my friend, are rippin’ off your skin The zombies are rippin’ off your skin
It is a thing of absolute beauty. (via Boingboing)
These are the things that amuse me. I am easily amused.
