I call zombies in airports. No one use that idea or I'll sue you.

I'm looking to corner the 'zombies driving cars' market as we speak. Sure, laugh all you want right now, but think about it; Your only real defense against a zombie horde is to outrun them...but what if they have CARS?!

No no, you're looking at it wrong. Cars cant go inside building very easily. What we really need are zombies on roller skates.

This thread wins.  As for the original topic, that's really fucking stupid.  I hope someone shoots those responsible in the face, then resurrects them as mindless drones who must serve our whims throughout the hell of their future unlife.

This is bullshit. Can we sue for werewolves and vampires?

EDIT:
Wait, I think I can legitimately sue Movies for "Arabs on airplanes!"

www.zombiesinairports.com

And then I'll pray someone does some form of fiction in that setting, so I can sue.

But then Idol will sue me because he called it.

Fuck you Idol. We could have settled this out of court man.

Idol, when we make the ultimate zombie game we must remember to include zombies on zombie grizzlies.

A lawyer discusses how weak the lawsuit seems.  His caveat is that he doesn't know all the facts behind the case, but that in the absence of something unusual, there isn't much of a case here, on any grounds.
