Brain-eating zombies invade SF Apple store

A horde of decaying zombies invaded San Francisco's downtown Apple store on Friday evening, hunting for brains, terrifying the customers, and gnawing on iMacs.

I've placed some photos here. I'm pleased to report that the zombies ultimately decided human brains were tastier than plastic iMacs, although it wasn't for lack of effort in trying to vary what must be a monotonous diet.

It was difficult to judge the exact number of zombies that shuffled through the city's shopping district, losing limbs, blood, and unmentionable body parts along the way, but probably at least 150 converged on Union Square. Then they decided to visit nearby businesses, including the Apple store, Nordstrom, the Disney store, and the Westfield Mall.

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).

Apple's got a good thing going here. We all know how much the Dims benefit from the votes of dead people.

Now Apple's cutting in on that well-known Dim voting bloc, the Dead Voter. More $$$ for Apple.

Why weren't they participating in Critical Mass, like the rest of the SF loonies on Friday night?

LOL - good pics.

Reminds me of the time I had to make a service call to a costume store to fix something. I had to wait around until the owner could deal with me, so I got to watch the artsy-fartsy dress up crowd fingering sequins and sashes for about an hour. Creeped me out. I was afraid to touch anything and maybe get some ghey cooties on me, or something.

I suppose all the Windows drones will be here soon, making more lame excuses why the zombies don't nibble on Microsoft Vista.

Windows users should be so lucky that a zombie would even want to eat their crapola Vista machines.
