We’re at the epicenter of a renewed love of zombies as a centerpiece for movies and television that hasn’t been seen since George A. Romero invented the modern zombie movie genre with 1968’s Night of the Living Dead.  That’s not so evident in movie theaters, but in pop culture in general.  Zombies are everywhere from colleges to comic books and as such, AMC has a hit on their hands with The Walking Dead.  After a record-breaking debut and a stellar second episode, AMC has renewed The Walking Dead for a second season.

Also picking up the show for a second season is Fox International Channels, the show’s European distributor.  The show also scored record ratings throughout the EU, where it was the highest-rated original series premier to ever air simultaneously across FIC’s various channels.  Without a doubt, AMC is pleased by this development.

“The Dead has spread!” said AMC President Charlie Collier.  “No other cable series has ever attracted as many Adults 18-49 as The Walking Dead.  This reaffirms viewers’ hunger for premium television on basic cable.  We are so proud to be bringing back The Dead again, across the globe.”

Commissioner Roger Goodell gathered 32 NFL owners for one big question.  One of the league’s most wanderlust-stricken franchises is looking to move again.  The Oakland-Los Angeles-Oakland Raiders, tired of gutting it out in a run-down stadium, were once again looking for greener pastures.  Only the Miami Dolphins refused to cooperate.  With a vote of 31-1, […]

In 2006, an injury to Dallas Cowboys starting quarterback Drew Bledsoe opened the door for an undrafted free agent by the name of Tony Romo to take the helm of America’s Team and lead the Dallas Cowboys to an early playoff exit.  Bledsoe went from starter to afterthought in a season.  Now, the circle continues […]

For 89 years, Oscars has never had a major mistake.  The last few Oscars might have had a few flubs, but at least they never got the most important category of the night wrong.  Well, that’s now changed, all thanks to OG Bonnie and Clyde legends Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway.  When Faye Dunaway called […]

Tom Brady has been wildly successful, if controversial.  He’s the first quarterback ever to win five Super Bowls and only the second player to do so after Charles Haley.  Unlike Haley, Brady won all his Super Bowls with the same team, the New England Patriots.  The only thing that seems to be able to stop […]

Ben Affleck, no matter what you might think of him, is a talented actor and director.  He’s got the goods, but he’s smart enough to know when he’s in over his head.  All along, since he took on the mantle of Batman, he’s had his eyes on writing, directing, and starring as the Caped Crusader. […]

In May, students for the for-profit American College of Education were running into some problems.  Their access to email accounts and course information was locked down by Google, who had disabled their accounts.  The reason why?  A fired IT worker for the American College of Education locked the school out of their Google cloud account.
