In medieval times the court jester was the only person allowed to say
whatever he wanted. He could call out the ruling class on their lies
and propaganda without fear of being executed, because he did it with
humor. He had the power to affect change by planting a seed in the
minds of the court.

While we would all agree that the more serious marches and actions are
always important we can often bring more public attention to an issue
with humor and by being just a little bit silly. In doing something
ridiculous and unexpected we may capture the curiosity of the folks
around us, and thus they will drop their guard for a while to actually
listen to what we have to say. So in the spirit of the old time court
jester, join us for the Zombie March Against Corporate Media.

The news is controlled by a small number of corporations such as NBC
Universal, News Corporation (FOX), CBS Corporation, Viacom, The Walt
Disney Corporation, and Time Warner. These corporate media outlets
often censor, alter and spin information regarding the most important
issues facing us these days, thus cutting us off from the truth and
often even making us afraid of our neighbors by weaving racism and
bigotry in between the lines, and then distracting us with adorable
puppies. Corporations then bombard us with advertisements in an effort
to convince us that we should care only about buying more junk we
don’t need. A study in 2009 showed that the average hour long T.V.
show was 36% commercials! You can hardly watch a TV show or movie
without suffering through the blatant product placement.

These have been the tools of the rich and greedy to control the masses
by turning us into apathetic zombies who live to buy the goods and
believe the lies. The Zombie March Against Corporate Media is a fun
way to call the attention to these issues of many who may not normally
notice. It will be family friendly, sidewalk only and with a low risk
of arrest as a group of lumbering zombies with funny signs deftly
follow the Monopoly Man carrying a giant television. We will meet up
at Civic Center Park on Saturday October 20th at 2pm for zombifying
and sign making (Make-up will be available. Keep in mind, fake blood
can stain clothes so wear something you don’t mind ruining, and be
creative!), then march from 3 to 4pm, dispersing into the Denver
Zombie Crawl at Skyline Park. Don’t let the %1 steel our
BRRAAAAIIIIINS!!!
