Slog - Comments on Gay Zombies Were Here Before You, Bruce La Bruce http://slog.thestranger.com/2008/05/gay_zombies_were_here_before_you_bruce_l From a miffed Chris Diani, director of the locally produced Creatures from the Pink Lagoon: Hello Stranger, Did you catch the description of Bruce LaBruce's new movie, Otto; or, Up with Dead People in the SIFF guide published in the Seattle Times? They're calling it "the world's first gay zombie movie." I find this particularly interesting, considering my own gay zombie movie, Creatures from the Pink Lagoon, was released two full years before Otto and has screened in Seattle five separate times in the past two years. What's more, Creatures from the Pink Lagoon was submitted to SIFF in 2006...

Doesn't Queer As Folk, premiering in the U.K. in 1999 and in the U.S. in 2000, predate everything Chris mentioned, gay-zombie-wise?

They might not be gay...I *think* they are, it's been a long, long time since I've seen (parts) of it. The director and most of the actors are gay.

That's a "look, I'm smart" word if I ever saw one.
Anyone who uses meme in a sentence should be taken out back and pummeled with a bag of dictionaries.

As in, among regular people. Not effete urban liberals who read Adbusters.
And the correct answer is: Never.
Dictionary beatings will commence at 1 p.m.

And meme is common on the internet. It's as much a part of commenting as NSFW or RTFM.

Which is to say, it can be obnoxious but it's part of the internet vernacular now, like it or not.
