What would you do for a free hotel room?
A reminder that we have way more to fear from zealots than zombies.
Put this guy down as my nominee for jackass of the week.
Just a suggestion from someone with a fair amount of experience in the beer world: if you want to get women interested in your product, there are better ways to do it that packaging your product in pink and making the six-pack carrier look like a purse. Oh, and calling it “Chick” might not be helpful either.

If you’re interested in the Stanley Milgram experiments and its implications, I strongly, very strongly encourage digging around and watching film and video of the original experiments. There may have been a degree of “zealotry” that helped motivate the subjects to inflict higher levels of perceived pain, sure, but to frame the obedience experiment in terms of zealots v. zombies does a huge disservice to the experiment and to the duress inflicted upon the subjects.
