Zombies heart Apple Stores

I just watched “28 Days Later” on DVD, then I click on TechMeme and see that zombies flooded an Apple Store in San Francisco Friday night. Coincidence? I think not!

I knew it! The zombies are coming for our iPods!

This is a great story.  Here’s more from CNET:

The event was titled “SF Zombie Mob 2007,” and it was organized by the gruesome-minded folks at eatbrains.com. It’s akin to a flash mob, though because the participants trek around the city after gathering, the Zombie Mob was closer in concept to the Critical Mass bicycle ride, which coincidentally was happening at the same time along the same street. In truth, it was a pretty polite affair: only passers-by who volunteered to become zombie-fied were, and no arrests took place.

It may be worth noting that the Westfield Mall and Disney security tried to bar the zombies from entering, but Apple store security did not. In fact, salespeople were jostling one another for a position where they could take the best photo of the zombies (or themselves with the zombies, or their brains being eaten by the zombies).

Another funny note: The Apple Store allowed the zombies into the store to browse, while the Disney store and the local mall denied the living dead.   Which makes me wonder what the target demographic is for Apple’s gadgets and goodies.  Hehe…
