We are all zombies

Sometimes I think I look too far into the meaning of movies, TV shows, etc. I saw Zombieland yesterday and to me it appeared to be obvious commentary on the state of the way people are. As our dear professor always points out we are like zombies. People just go through life mindlessly. Although this may not be ones normal state of being, everyone has there zombie days (for people like me it is every morning before my coffee). Many people even take it so far as to attend college with no idea as to what there purpose of being there is, they simply go because that is what they are supposed to do or that's what their parents expect of them. Very zombie like if you ask me. One of my favorite commentaries on popular culture is South Park. When I am less than sober, South Park blows my mind. Sober it's still pretty good. They usually hit the nail right on the head with a lot of the comments they make. News commentators and other cultural anthropologists never come to conclusions quite as accurate as good ole south park.
