The relevance of Zombie films in today's Society

Most people realize Romero's original "Dawn of the Dead" was actually about consumerism, but one would be remiss if they were unable to see the relevance of the zombie film in today's society. We are literally surrounded by zombies. People walking down the sidewalk texting, people standing right next to someone they are texting, people with ipods jammed in their ears all day long, oblivious to anything going on around them, Kids with handheld videogames at family functions, missing life. Facebook status junkies who do nothing but update for their every thought, Holy fuckin'dogshit Batman! People are sitting by idly while life flies past them at breakneck speed and all they care about is their goddamn facebook status. This is sad to me....I need to see a bus full of nuns and orphans crash head on through a cerebral palsy picnic with a special "last of the "Wizard of Oz" Munchkins" as a guest speaker, sort of tragedy to put a smile back on my face.
