Super Bowl 2013 - Walking Dead Commercial

Here is the commercial shown during the 2012 Superbowl Game.



Time Warner uses the ever popular TV show "The Walking Dead" to promote themselves. I must admit...it's kinda funny and I like that they used one of my favorite Walking Dead characters.

End Of The World Movies Were Popular

 I can remember how people used to flock to see the latest "end of the world" movie or thought that somehow all of their problems would be solved if everyone just vanished. Now that the earth is a zombie wasteland none of the remaining survivors, at least the ones I have met, can even recall why those things were so appealing.

If other animals could talk do you think any of them make up fantasy stories or investigate their own demise as much as humans did? Then again the mere fact that humans ask "why?"  is one of the distinct things that separates humans from monkeys. I remember watching a program on television about it.

People were actually depressed that the world didn't end on December 21, 2012. What the heck? I wonder if those people were happy when they left their houses and apartments that fateful Thursday morning, just like any other day, to take their children to school and go off to work. That was a good day for you if your child had a cold and you couldn't get a babysitter. It was a good day for you if your alarm failed to go off and you woke up late. It was a good day for you if you lived faraway from heavily populated areas. It was a good day for you if you we're able to get the reports of what was happening from coast to coast and country to country. It was a good day to stay home and watch the news. People were rapidly being infected by an unknown contagion.

The first wave spread like a highly contagious virus. It was airborne and lethal. The onset of symptoms took less than sixteen hours. Fever, joint pain, confusion, migraines and complete disorientation. They aren't sure where it originated from 100% but they claim that JFK airport in New York City could be where and how it  was able to travel the globe in such a short time. With direct flights all over the world the virus just hitched an express ride to every continent on the planet.

The news reports cited that the bird flu and SARS paled in comparison to this new virus. That was day one.

Day two brought a new horror. The virus was rapidly killing it's hosts. Police failed to show up to work, morgues and hospitals were over run with people, nurses and doctors abandoned their posts and people were panicking. Dead bodies littered the streets where disoriented men, women and children just dropped dead from severe dehydration, hemorrhaging and brain damage. There were no "authorities" or national guard left to deal with the massive numbers of dead. Nobody wanted to approach the bodies. In a few areas near CDC centers and advanced medical labs a few people in hazmat suits came out and collected a few of the dead people or specimens for further research. That would be the last time anyone ever saw a hazmat suit again.

The third day was bewildering. Just the day before the streets had been littered with dead people and now they were empty or there were people wandering around aimlessly just like on day one. A few of the brave went outside with masks on out of necessity. To see if the local store was open to get more formula for a baby or to get necessary medications from the pharmacy. Those people were the first to be chased down and eaten alive. News reports began flooding the airwaves and the Internet. The dead had returned to "life" during the night and were now hunting and feeding on the living. Those who managed to get away with just a bite or a scratch began to show the same symptoms of the virus. The virus had mutated, it wasn't airborne anymore. It was transmitted through direct contact with the infected through bodily fluids or skin to skin contact.

Suicides were rampant. Anyone with a gun and lots of ammunition thanked their stars for being somewhat prepared and able to defend themselves at a distance. Most people had heard of or knew someone who watched the then popular TV show "The Walking Dead". The information on how to destroy the undead spread like wild fire. You had to destroy the brain or what remained of it. This was the only way to send a zombie to it's grave.

Forever Lazy = Zombie Chow

"Get toasty warm from head to toe!" - that way you'll taste just perfect when your neighbor takes a huge bite out of your upper thigh. He won't be able to get a really good bite because blue fleece will be in his way but he will be able to grab hold of you really well as he tries again. If only you hadn't been "forever lazy" and practiced some cardio once in a while. You might have been able to outrun his 76 year old zombie ass.
      __________________________________

This was just one of the many useless items you could find on retail shelves before the undead began to roam the land. The name even describes most people’s state of mind before the undead outbreak - “Forever Lazy”. I would’t be surprised if there weren’t products called “Forever In Denial ” and “ Forever Mindlessly Entertained” somewhere out there.

It’s funny to think that the people who lounged around in these Forever Lazy ensembles are now busier than ever. Walking around relentlessly in search of a living meal. These, now dead, people are doing more cardio then ever and not complaining about it at all. They just moan or try to moan whenever a living mammal is within sight or earshot.

I would also like to note that this product doesn’t come in x-small or small. At least I couldn’t find any in that size at the store. All that was available was large and extra-large. When the zombies showed up it was like some cosmic force had asked the zombies if they would like to super-size their meals and wrap them in fleece!

Derren Brown - Apolcalypse TV show

Found this BBC TV show. It's pretty amazing! They make a man believe it's the end of days, the apocalypse has presented it's ugly head and the infected are roaming the earth.

All of this is done to help this young man appreciate his life more and respect his family more than ever before.

Here is the whole show in two parts. Enjoy!

Part 1 -



Part 2 -



So let me know what you think? Do you think they could ever do a version of this show in the states?

Could Zombies Live Among Us?

I found this video on youtube and I thought it was worth sharing. Takes place in New York City and I love the makeup and reactions people have.

I can't wait for our Queens Thanksgiving Zombie Walk here in New York City on Nov. 17 2012!
