Some Clarification on the ‘Vampires vs. Zombies’ Series
Okay, I feel I must provide a little clarification on this particular series of posts. When I say that people are either in one camp or the other—vampires or zombies—I don’t mean that the selection of said camp should based upon which one you’d rather be. All things being equal, I’d rather be neither. Luckily for me, that’s a viable option. No, the selection should be based upon which one you’re a bigger fan of within the realm of pop culture entertainment.
Now, you’re certainly permitted to choose one camp or the other based upon the fact you’d like to actually be a vampire or a zombie, but it’s not a prerequisite. Quite the contrary. When I initially thought of this series, I didn’t take the possibility—or allure—of such a transformation into consideration. (To be honest, the allure lies heavily on the vampire side. Of this I am sure.) However, it’s obvious I must take it into consideration going forward.
Consequently, when I blog about the pros and cons associated with vampires and zombies in the future, I’ll include the “What if I became one?” hypothetical situation and the scenarios that might result from such an event. It’s only fair, I suppose, if my goal is to present an even-handed, impartial, fair, and balanced look at what might possibly be one of the most pointless arguments in the history of our civilization.
By the way, “Blood-sucking Brain Eaters” would be a great name for a band. Just saying . . .
