Question: Who exactly thought up the idea of zombies?
Was someone just sitting around back in the old days, bored out of their minds when suddenly they thought to themselves: "Y'know what? I think this world needs a little more weird and creepy things. I should create one. And I will call it a......zombie. Because obviously that's a perfect name. And this thing shall be a dead monkey.. no, moose, ....no....human. Yes. A dead human. And this dead human will have blue or white skin for no reason at all. And of course after all that time in the ground, they will be hungry. So they shall eat....carrots. No, no carrots. Um......jellybeans. No, not scary enough. I know! Humans. The dead human will eat living humans! AHA! BRILLIANT!"
Is that how it went? Honestly?
Was there no better idea to come up with then zombies who were buried normally, but all of a sudden when they arise are covered with massive scarring on their face and they still have their teeth and jewelery on? Really?
I mean, c'mon, it doesn't take a genius to create something like that. Or what about vampires? That you can kill them with garlic, or sunlight or a stake through the heart or holy water? HELLO PEOPLE!! Just wait until they turn into a bat and get a bird to eat it? Is that not the most simple idea? IT"S TWO FOLD! The bird gets dinner and you get rid of that pesky vampire.
Or black cats. Because they're obviously the only ones who hiss and raise their back. It's a gene thing right?
People, people, people. Logical things are way more frightening to the general population then made up things. Like having 3 elections in 6 months. Or that President Bush doesn't know his right hand from his left. Or that they sell "intimate" ideas in the baby section at Shopper's. Or that your barista knows exactly what you drink even though you only come in once a week.........it makes me shudder
haha so random
ReplyDeleteif you think making up scary monsters is so easy, your next blog should have you creating something as such.
