Zombies reciting haiku

Posted by Cory Doctorow, July 31, 2008 6:04 AM | permalink

Here's a three-minute youtube of two guys in zombie outfits reciting haiku (about zombiism) and blowing artistic sax notes -- while, in the background, zombie apocalypse unfolds. Thank you, zombie guys, for productively filling three minutes of my life! Zombie Haiku (Thanks, Megan!)

The excellent video is promoting the even more excellent book Zombie Haiku written by Ryan Mecum who plays the haiku reciting zombie in the video.

Thanks, I hadn't seen that.

BTW: You can embed long links (like Amazon URLs) so that folks don't have to try to read them (nobody can, anyway). Do you see how my link (in the text I copied from your post) doesn't bleed all over the items in the right column?

FAKE! You people are so gullible.

You know, for daily zombie goodness you should really check out www.zombiedaily.com .

Artist Rob Sacchetto, who was featured previously on Boing Boing for his zombie portraits (www.zomibeportraits.com)has been posting a daily zombie illustration for a few months now.

His podcast is hilarious as well.
