Why life as a zombie on 'The Walking Dead' would actually be paradise
The world of AMC's The Walking Dead is a grim place full of violence and despair. Amid the anarchy of the zombie apocalypse, the survivors must fend off constant attacks from the undead horde and living humans. Our heroes are tortured and brutalized, forced to extremes and driven to make impossible choices.
Which kind of makes you think: Wouldn't it be better just to be a zombie?

Seriously, it has to be less traumatic to actually shuffle around as an undead cannibal than to be hunted by them. There's plenty of free food, lots of wide open spaces and fresh air, and you get tons of exercise.
In fact, that's probably why zombies are always moaning and groaning. Not in some kind of pain, but in joy at their situation. That's the idea at the heart of the newest installment of our series, Too Long; Didn't Watch. Prove us wrong, that's all we're saying.
