Joss Whedon isn't sure if Romney's Zombie Apocalypse will have fast or slow zombies

After months of debates, primaries, TV commercials and conventions and then more TV commercials and debates, the 2012 presidential election is less than 10 days away. As always, Hollywood stars have spoken out on who they support and who they don't. We've seen Katy Perry perform at an Obama fundraiser, Kid Rock has hit the campaign trail for Romney and late last week Lena Dunham delivered her own explanation on why you should re-elect the president. Today, "Avengers" director and "Buffy the Vampire" creator Joss Whedon provided his own endorsement of President Obama. And only Whedon could find a way to tie it into the big question on everyone's mind: If Romney is elected, will the forthcoming Zombie Apocalypse he'll spawn bring fast or slow zombies?
No matter who you're voting for, it's funny stuff (and remember, stick by those friends who know parkour).

velocityknown Yes, numerous TV shows with devoted fan followings, the second highest grossing movie of all time, respect and adoration of everyone he works with. HUGE loser.

October 29, 2012 at 8:59AM EST Reply to CommentSo absurdly ridiculous. I have no problem with psuedo-celebrities speaking out on politics (even when I disagree with them ... as I usually do), but crap like this just makes them look like morons. At least make your critiques half-way reasonable. Lost tons of respect for Joss, who I used to consider somewhat intelligent.
mmcb105 You do realize that he was joking about the whole zombie apocalypse critique, right? Sometimes advertising tries to make funny ads that would resonate with audiences more than straight informational ads. People are more likely to talk about something if they find it funny. Besides, political affiliation has nothing to do with intelligence. There have been plenty of intelligent people on both sides of the aisle.

October 29, 2012 at 12:43PM ESTJaxemer11 It wasn't the zombie apocalypse I was talking about ... it was the completely over the top description of what a Romney Presidency would look like (which is completely inaccurate and stupid).

October 29, 2012 at 2:49PM ESTSo ... it WAS the zombie apocalypse you were talking about.
