No one likes zombies. They’re the walking dead, and they eat brains. Zombies are the lowest of the monster food chain, slow, sluggish, and incapable of intelligent thought.
Clark County police hate zombies so much that they arrested a high school student for writing a story about them. I wish this was one of my inside jokes, but it’s so much more sad than that. The police are saying that this amounts to a felony; I think it amounts to bad taste.
Come on, a classic zombie story is a staple of American literature. When I was in middle school, I wrote a fictional piece about blowing up a Wal-mart. Not only did I not ever act on the violent material but also I grew up to obtain a college education and regularly shop at Wal-mart.
For the record, I’m a huge zombie fan.

Thats probably one of the most ridonkulous articles I have ever read.
Under that same reasoning all fiction writers should be arrested.

No doubt, which reminds me, I wrote a pretty gruesome vampire story in middle school as well. I would never have made it through school with all the voodoo head-hunters that there are now.
