Pop Goes the Culture
Shoulder pads, slap bracelets, Sinead O'Connor, streakers, sideburns, Sex and the City, string art, sea monkeys, SUVs, the Slinky. The best part about trends and passing fads (besides blackmailing your friend with the picture you have of her in that 1986 poodle perm) is the insight it can give us about our world. Sure, at the time a rat tail and listening to New Kids on the Block may have just seemed like harmless fun, but trends are more than just being able to say "Yes, I too tried the Adkins diet." And so this blog is devoted to finding all the latest trends and passing fads our culture can come up with and trying to figure out what they say about us other than at one point, we too thought the Emo look was cool.

AprillBrandon - > Pop Goes the Culture -> Finally, a place for us zombie believers
Finally, a place for us zombie believers

In my day, I have been known to join some pretty crazy social networking groups. I mean, on Facebook alone, I'm already a member of the groups "Jon Stewart for President," The Lee Evans Appreciation Society"," "AA is for Quitters" and "Chuck Norris Rocks!"

But then I came across this one. And I am unashamed to say that I am not quite sure how I was able live all these years not being a member of this particular online community.

It's called LostZombies.com and (true story) it is devoted to gathering definitive proof that zombies are real and to educating the world about the potential, and most likely imminent zombie apocalypse.

The best part is that people can send in their own "proof" in the form of photos and videos that zombies are real. And having searched through some of them, I can say they are the funniest proof of the undead this side of "Shaun of the Dead."

But the fun doesn't stop there, my friends. If things go right, apparently all these videos and photos will eventually be put into the world's first community generated zombie documentary.

Awesome.

What can I say? I love people with a quirky (alright, let's just say it, weird) sense of humor.

And so, I will be joining the site. Just because...I mean, how can you not? It's zombies, man.

God Bless the Internet (and 20-somethings with nothing better to do with their day).

This topic is perfect for plugging my infinitely delayed project "Vampirates vs. Zombie Ninjas"

It's glad that there is a place for true believers
