Zombies

I remember hearing that George Romero's "Dawn of the Dead" was supposed to show that consumer culture had made people into zombies, and thats why his characters are always stuck in shopping malls. The joke in "Shaun of the Dead" is that the folks who ride public transportation are so comatose that no one notices when they turn into actual zombies. I think this cell phone picture I took of guys in the metro sums it up pretty good as well.
