Anchorman’s Paul F. Tompkins and Mad Men’s Ben Acker star in Sketch of the Dead. Where we are confronted with an entirely different “if I’m bitten you have to promise me…” situation.

Ok, well maybe not, but I totally relate to this. Christmas has become such a big bully that it encroaches on all the other good holidays. Halloween needs to try and take over Christmas again, and maybe this time not apologize and not let Santa fix Christmas in time to save the day.
Man’s finger bitten off during US healthcare rally
Reprinted from this morning’s GAURDIAN.CO.UK – “A 65-year-old man who opposes Barack Obama’s plans for healthcare reform had one of his fingers bitten off during a pro-reform rally organized by the liberal political action group MoveOn.org.
After 100 protesters supporting a healthcare overhaul assembled for a vigil in Thousands Oaks, California yesterday, a group of people who opposed reform showed up.
A confrontation ensued between a man who supported healthcare reform and one of the members of the anti-reform group, police said.
The two men yelled at each other and then got into a fist fight. As the brawl escalated, the pro-reform protester bit a finger off of the 65-year-old.
The injured man walked to a nearby hospital where his finger was reattatched. A hospital spokeswoman said the man had Medicare, the US government-run insurance programme for older citizens.
A MoveOn spokeswoman expressed regret for the incident and said the organization “condemns violence in all forms,” according to Politico.
She said: “While we don’t know if either party involved was a MoveOn member, we regret any violence that may have occurred yesterday, and we support the Ventura county sheriff’s investigation into the situation.”

I found this video after returning from a couple weeks of “Zombie Survival Training”. Which basically consisted of grabbing what you need to survive and living out of your SUV for a couple weeks until better shelter can be secured. Luckily I had my bug-out bag already packed, and turned a plastic office organizer into a bureau. I never visualized the concept of a wardrobe in the apocalypse until now. Needless to say I think I did pretty good, and find myself returning to civilization with a much healthier disposition in life. Sometimes we really need to shake things up to appreciate what we have. So to commemorate this optimistic event I present this fan-art video combining Left4Dead with the soothing sounds of Louis Armstrong.

Just wandered across this and had a Left 4 Dead PTSD moment:
With any luck it’s just possessed and not actually dead so I won’t have to wonder about the bits connected to it. But still, eerily reminiscent of my last final scene. On a side note, it does strangely make me want to work in inks again…

The new trailer to Zombieland. Words can not describe how much I want to see this film, instead we will have to rely on the echoes of my head slappings. Maybe Woody Harrelson can do for Zombies what he has already done for serial killers. October can’t come soon enough. Hopefully this will mean there will be that many more Zombies this Halloween. Finally, a Halloween fashion trend I can welcome.
These are so utterly morbidly adorable. If I ever have kids (and let’s hope, for the sake of the world at large, that I never do). I’ll need to do a full set so they can have a proper horde and eviscerate a cabbage patch doll.
Well done dbx1. Found via BoingBoing
