Every culture since has registered the same basic fear, from medieval Europe’s revenants to Haiti’s trodotoxinated nzambi, from which the word zombie originated.
LA Weekly 10/30/2006
One more article for our current examination of Tzombi culture. The LA Weekly – a fine weekly newspaper I have come to love as much for its erotic personal ads as its usefulness in creating papier-mache barriers to the vermin that crawl into my office in the dead of night – recently published a very interesting (if factually inaccurate) story on the subject of “zombies” in modern pop culture. I think you’ll see many of the prejudices apply to a disturbing degree; still, it is nice to see writers (albeit writers who work for a “free” paper) taking the presence of Tzombi (zombie) culture seriously.
Perhaps next time they will contact me for assistance. Though my consulting services aren't inexpensive, most will say I'm worth every penny.

Mr. Weiss,
Which is less developed, your modesty or your testicles? You are a hack, sir, and I am offended by the total lack of insight on the subject of which you profess such superior intellect. Perhaps you should put down your copy of Fortean Times and conduct some legitimate research. Then again, your subterfuge of academia may help you conceal the steroetype of Tzombi you are perpetuating through "knock knock" jokes. Please pick up extra hours with your employer, be it Red Robin or Claim Jumper. That time will provide you with some financial compensation and will not poison the minds of innocents with Tzombi slander.
