Entertainment, it can be argued, is an expression of the group unconscious bubbling to the surface, like dreams of the individual, except en masse. jungian archetypes writ large reflecting the fantasies of the underlying group unconscious, it's emotional urges, uspoken desires and fears splashed across our screens.
And we have a current group fantasy and fascination with zombies as its being depicted through successful pop mediums, movie, tv and videogames.
And we have the GOP, dying, or arguably symbollically dead, defeated in the resounding victory of Obama and the Dems. And yet its rejected, dead ideas are constantly resurfacing. The walking dead, facing complete electoral extinction as their base literally dies off, shuffling around endlessly, aimlessly opposed to anything logical and reasonable, just going through the motions, in effect looking to not just deny rational thought and empiricism, but to destroy it, and the world, all for their insatiable and apparrently uncontrollable, selfish, nihilistic appetite.....eat brains.......
Just an observation....
