Parasitic flies turn fire ants into zombies

http://news.yahoo.com/s/mcclatchy/20090512/sc_mcclatchy/3231765 The flies "dive-bomb" the fire ants and lay eggs. The maggot that hatches inside the ant eats away at the brain, and the ant starts exhibiting what some might say is zombie-like behavior. "At some point, the ant gets up and starts wandering," said Rob Plowes, a research associate at UT.

Zombie Bum and I managed to come very late for the Crypticon promo Zombie Walk and were bemused to hear that the police arrested one of the participants who's Umbrella Corporation costume from Resident Evil was perceived as an actual threat. It happened at Metro Clothing company and the store staff thought the whole thing was a riot. :)

Seattle Geekly.com describes the situation well.......

Read the article, it's great.

I'm relieved to hear that J took his arrest experience quite well and no harm came to him. "Oh right. There is a guy with a gas mask carrying a rifle with grenades strapped to his jacket standing in the store." Yea, the police were doing their job.

This brings me questions pertaining to the crux of gorilla theater. What is the best way to "punk" the public? At what point does the right to assemble look more like the percolation of a riot to fearful eyes? Is there a place for weapons or "swat" style costuming in Zombie Walks?"

Please get all the costume geeks you know to take a moment and think about the effects of a "great costume" in ordinary public situations. It is illegal to carry a weapon in public. If the weapon is part of your costume....it must look ridiculous to avoid risking arrest.

In this post 9/11 terrorism paranoid Homeland Security overkill......a person has to be really careful about dressing, acting, writing or doing anything that can even be PERCEIVED as a threat. Ironically, Zombies are not a threat, but kids who look like snipers with fake guns are. Being a "hero" means you risk getting arrested....So think about it.

IF YOU REALLY WANT TO SAVE SEATTLE FROM IMPENDING ZOMBIE DOOM AND ATTEND ZOMBIE WALKS TO ERADICATE THE CONTAMINATED.... PLEASE NOTIFY THE POLICE JUST HOURS BEFORE THE DAY OF YOUR PERFORMANCE.

Then, if the cops show up.....THEY WON'T ARREST YOUR ASS like J!

(Sorry J, you are still our Hero!)
