Zombies and the need for new experiences

Fact: Zombies are the living dead. They have been infected with a virus which has killed them and then reanimates their bodies with the only goal of eating living peoples brains.

Now according to Andrew Zimmern of Travel Channels "Bizarre Foods", brains are very good tasting when prepared right. But, come on, zombies eat the brains raw and don't even have their own TV show to exploit their weird appetites. Why do they do it? For fun?

Let's look at this. You walk around all day (and night) stiff legged, moaning and killing people only to eat their raw brains. That seems like a formula for boredom to me. There you go, zombies aren't horrifying, their just bored.

They need variety. New scenes, new activities, new clothes (can't argue with me here you've seen what they wear), new and varied foods, maybe some good conversation (after all the other zombies are a real drag).

So, next time you see a zombie don't run away screaming, befriend them. Take them out for a new suit or dress, don't forget the shoes, and a nice meal at an exotic restaurant.

Till next time,
consume some caffeine,
and befriend the undead.
