This is what happens when you let your links pile up.
1. Because you can't go wrong if you start with zombies, Baltimore College is schooling undergraduates in the undead. This semester, the school is offering an English class on the pop culture history of zombies. Is it too late to transfer?
2. Of course, once the zombies have destroyed global civilization, we'll need a way to preserve our precious science fiction, and this guy has an idea. The article explains the concept behind this exhibit better than I could, so be sure to read it. It's super cool.
3. Unless the apocalypse is brought on by war between humans and vampires, in which case we'll be relying on Naked Geoff Paul Bettany to kill them all. My reasons for being interested in this movie are about as high-brow as a nipple ring and are mostly related to my love of SF horror and Paul Bettany kicking ass. Don't judge.
4. Moving away from apocalyptic doom, a Canadian clothing chain has announced that they will no longer retouch photos to change the shape of models' bodies. This is the best news I've heard in a while. Now if only everyone else would catch up.
5. "Pop culture has now become the basis for a participatory approach to world activism - Harry Potter fans for gay rights in the US, defiant Palestinians protesting about Israeli occupation with their traditional keffiyahs over skins painted blue after Avatar’s Na’vi people." Avatar Activism in Le Monde Diplomatique.
