That was good. Holy crap though -- the Stephen Colbert charity counter-offer to Donald Trump that shows up in the related/recommended videos is one of the best things I've seen a long ass time.

Joss is spot on about the coming apocalypse but he misses the cause.

It is the degenerate lifestyle choices of the underclass that are flooding the land with diseased uneducated helpless moochers.

The producers are having to make a strategic triage decision-
what is the best use of their limited and dwindling resources:
letting Obama buy birth control for Fluck and cell phones for the 'hood
or
stockpiling canned food and guns, guns, guns....

well.

you know the answer.

we are CLINGING baby.

and the religion- strictly optional.....

Like.

And wasn't that pretty much one take?

The Zomney apocalypse. I like.

@3: "Producers," "moochers" -- hahahahahahaha. Well, at least you read one book, once.

This is pretty much the best ad I've seen in a long time.

Hmmm, tell me again why mormons all have to keep a year supply of food socked away?

Freaking awesome. And I loved the line about Spam having it's own key.

The percent that can manage parkour (ou parcours) is far less than 1%. Hmm, suddenly diabetes makes a lot of sense (the brain lives on glucose...). I guess a zombie conspiracy really is the most likely explanation.

@9: Holy crap, that is an excellent point.

The AP has just announced that Hurricane Sandy will cost Obama the election, since Democratic voters will be unable to get to the polls (and Bain & Company will flip the Zomney switch on their voting machines). Sweet dreams, everyone!

Beautiful Ad. Just Beautiful.

I think Romney is more like Lundbergh from Office Space.

"Yey-ahhh... I'm gonna want you vote for me. Yeyahh, that'd be grey-aate."

Andrew dear, it seems to me that a big storm like Sandy will affect both parties equally - if voter turnout is greatly reduced, the proportions will likely remain the same.

Actually, if the big urban centers recover first, as they almost always do, the Democratic victory will probably be even stronger.

If the effects of Sandy do indeed linger in a widespread way to Election Day, I think it will probably be a net positive for the Democrats.

Do zombies care about the weather?

Whedon should help get Pride and Prejudice and Zombies filmed/off the ground.

Posted by Simone on October 28, 2012 at 10:52 PM

@19 or not... I mean the books where fun for about 30 pages and then they are just a repetition of the same gag.

Have you read the Feed trilogy (if you like zombie books, might aswell suggest something I like instead of just saying that I dont enjoy the things you like)

Oh Trolll.... Think that always, and say it every once in a while, won't you?

Unfortunately, being a 70's mannequin, I am both impossibly thin and dreadfully flat-chested. My "titties", as you so eloquently call them, are bought to us by the good folks at Nerf.
