AHEM!

I have a confession to make that surely will end up in myself bathing in half rotten to fully rotten tomato juice... I don't think zombies are awesome. I don't think they are scary; quite frankly, I find them a bit... well... lame. There, I said it. This is the result of a condition of mine. You see, I was born without the "voluntary suspension of disbelief" gland. I've managed to live a normal existence... but I do bother my friends and acquaintances to hell.

All I see in zombies, other than make up and fake blood, is rotting corpses that are either too fragile to resist half well aimed not so hard blows or too stiff to be a threat. Think about it: rigor mortis makes them unable to bend their arms up enough to grab you, the jaw can't bite... not hard enough, anyways. That and their stench precedes them enough for the living to spot them and run or shoot. Unless you are anosmic. Then poor of you in a zombie outbreak.

That's what I am talking about, I tend to analyze things since I see them. Therefore I can see in horror games or movies how the plot sets up a series of nerve wrecking experiences that lead to a startle, making the startling element bloody or disgusting or both, it appears as a scare, that stirs up the watcher's own fears and then you have the watcher thinking that is scary shit.

So, and speaking of shit, literally, this suspension of the suspension of disbelief that I suffer from leads me to coldly think about the setting in the infamous "2 girls, 1 cup" video and arrive to the conclusion that yes, in fact there are people capable of it. Perversion and fetishes are strange like that. Stranger and more disturbing either. It is disgusting and depressive, but yes, it is shit, real shit, and yes, they did all that to it.

On a(n apparently) lighter note, I did suspend my suspension of the suspension of disbelief once, playing a game. I cried. She didn't deserve to die. That nonexistant pile of pixels I for a second called a sister of mine, who was the sister of the main character, actually. I beg you for a minute of silence in honor of... that.
