have zombies jumped the shark?

Let's face it, we all love zombies. But it seems lately they've become pretty played out on TV, the internet, commercials... pretty much everywhere. But it's not until they appear in a Sears commercial that one might be able to officially conclude that they have, in fact, jumped the shark. This spot by EuroRSCG offers to give zombies a beauty makeover, likely to promote their whole "more than just appliances and tools" message. So the question is: does this make Sears now cooler by association or zombies now uncool by association? Discuss.

Let's bring back Frankenstein's Monster!

Halloween has a lot to answer for!

wonder what the next played out persona will be: pirates--->ninjas--->zombies--->conquistadors???
