I’t would also seem a bit closer to actual necrophilia. Since zombies tend to be..you know…all fucked up and shit.

Jokes and zombie sex aside, I’m kind of curious to continue the discussion. I mentioned the ammo to a friend whose opinion I normally respect and got my face chewed off when I maintained they weren’t any more dangerous than normal ammunition.
- Primarily, firearms are only safe when treated with respect, and the ammo unnecessarily encourages people to not treat them with respect. (I think the effect is weak, but I have no serious counter to it.)
- It encourages people to be more idiotic than they might otherwise be (my suggestion that that holds true for easy access to firearms on a much greater scale was met with significant hostility).
- It’s purely irresponsible to present live ammunition as novelty toy items (my response that anyone remotely sane would not load a real gun with toy bullets, the only situation in which the ammo presents a danger, was dismissed as irrelevant).
Personally, I think mhendo’s argument is a pretty strong one, particularly with the analogy to alcohol, and both Doors’ and my friend’s arguments are getting hung up on emotion, which surprises me as both tend to be pretty level-headed otherwise.
I’m genuinely curious in a discussion on this, and I’ll go open a thread in GD if I need to, but I’m comfortable here in the Pit.
When they made a Broadway musical about Jesus, I knew this would happen eventually . . . Is no cultural institution safe from vulgarization?!
I have to agree - this whole zombie thing has gone way too far. They’re just 2HD monsters, people. Wake me up when something dangerous shows up.
