Zombie angered at Facebook misrepresentation

Trevor cries out for justice, brains
Former signwriter and current member of the walking dead,
Trevor Fleck, has voiced his outrage at what he calls "the blatant inaccuracies
of Facebook's ‘Zombies' application". Fleck has called upon his fellow zombies
to join him in a Million Mob March against "lame, bullshit online media portrayal of
flesh-eating monsters".
"I'd like to see these so-called ‘online networkers' deal
with a real zombie," moaned Fleck, chewing on a frontal lobe. "You can't just
click the 'Ignore' button when an inhumanly strong, insatiably hungry reanimated
corpse is bearing down on you, burning with undead hatred and with no desire other
than to feast on your dismembered carcass."
Even worse, claims Fleck, are the differing power levels
available to Facebook zombies. "Anyone with a rudimentary knowledge of zombie
lore would know we're mindless creatures incapable of learning new skills or becoming
stronger. It's factually incorrect – and potentially harmful – to give the
impression that spreading the zombie infection makes you stronger."
"And I should clarify, no zombie can become a ninja unless they were
already one in life."
Max Brooks, author of The Zombie Survival Guide, has
defended the application. "Certainly, these zombies bear little similarity to
their real-world counterparts," he said. "But Trevor should be happy people are
raising awareness of zombism. Look at the PR boost vampires got from Anne Rice's
novels and Angel."
In related news, the Dead Sheep Alliance is considering
launching a class action suit over the SuperPoke! application, which they claim
"makes us look like a bunch of tossers".
