Joss Whedon - Vote Prez for Zombie Apocalypse

DO NOT TURN THIS INTO A POLITICAL RANT OR FIGHT. I just truly enjoyed this video, and I assume most will find it amusing:

Click Me

Joss Whedon, director of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, The Avengers movie, Angel, etc

- he talks about who to vote for based on the coming zombie apocalypse...

He also had created a character in City of Heroes during a talk regarding The Avengers a few months back. I'm sure someone has the link to that somewhere.

LOL I love Joss Whedon.

Very funny video. In before the political debate.

I tried to be very clear to not turn this into a political rant - this is just for humor and thought it was awesome - it could have been either candidate and I would have laughed.

I can't imagine how many takes this took. Notice how all the cans were carefully turned away to avoid advertisement.

This is the Daily Show formula at work. When all else fails, be incredibly disingenuous and rely on humor to get uninformed juvenile voters on board with your political agenda!

I'm all for humor, but not at the expense of the future of my country.

I think this goes much deeper than politics. It's actually all about corporate greed and mismanagement. When NCSoft turns off the servers at the end of November, we won't just be losing a game. We'll be losing one of the most amazing, spectacular, astonishing, uncanny zombie apocalypse simulators known to man. Magic zombies, science zombies, technology zombies-- you name it, City of Heroes has it. But City of Heroes doesn't just illustrate how a zombie apocalypse might happen; no, it takes it one step further, and teaches us what you need to fight such a threat.

That's right. Super heroes.

NCSoft isn't just taking our game away. They're taking away an educational tool and in so doing, they're putting the real world in danger when the zombies come.

Hey I'm a Romney supporter and I found it funny. Nothing wrong poking fun at people. I'm just wondering if he got his friends to bring over all their can goods to stage the end.

Knowing Whedon that's his actual zombie apocalypse stockpile.

I say vote Raimi for Zombie Apocalypse. But Whedon works too.

I would agree with you that it's just harmless humor if it weren't for the fact that we've seen this before. I think every single person I know who is now eligible to vote for the first time will be supporting Obama because they saw the Daily Show and it was funny and Romney is evil. It worked against McCain too, this cheap way of cornering the young vote. I even know some actual adults who fall for it.

What does this have to do with CoH & CoV General Discussions?
