Canadians are known for being so polite, it’s difficult to imagine them starting a zombie war. Nevertheless a clash between rival zombie camps has broken out in Toronto.
I’ve always kind of suspected that running is evil, and now I have further evidence. Not only can it look really unflattering and do bad things to your knees, it is also at the crux of a nasty dispute between the organizers of the Running Dead zombie-themed run and the organizers of the Toronto Zombie Walk.
The fledgling Running Dead have issued a cease-and-desist letter to the Toronto Zombie Walk camp as well as an open letter to the media claiming that the organizers of the longstanding walk have undermined the success of their venture by throwing their weight around with sponsors, promotional partners, and the public. Meanwhile the not-for-profit walking zombies take issue with the fact that the run, which occurs a day after their walk, is making money off the efforts and expense of the people dressing up as zombies.
