I've always found it intriguing that people are seeming obsessed with the idea of the world ending under a mountain of zombies (my roommate being one of them). Figured I'd take a moment to throw my two cents in on the booming pop culture concept of zombies. Seeing ad the movie World War Z just released a trailer full of thrilling eye candy for zombie people. The movie is based off of a best selling book about humanity's struggle and eventual victory over the zombie plague. I've had the chance to read this book by Max Brooks, I found it truly engaging but I digress, with the huge popularly with the world ending via zombies it begs a question, it's the world that bad of a place that having to run from zombies seem like a good thing?
I mean, it's puzzling to me at the huge boom in culture surrounding it, often by those of slightly social awkwardness makes me wonder if many of the fans actually desire that state of the world, followed by the question of how can a society produce a person (people) the so desires the destruction of everything around them. I find the answer to that question much more troubling than the byproduct of zombies.
