Fake Zombies Arrested On WMD Charges
POSTED: 9:51 am PDT July 25, 2006 (from the AP)
MINNEAPOLIS -- They weren't looking for brains -- they were looking to party.
But participants in a "zombie dance party" ended up in jail after getting arrested in downtown Minneapolis.
Police said the dancers were wearing thick makeup and staggering along like the living dead Saturday evening. A few carried backpacks with wires sticking out.
The "zombies" were arrested on suspicion of having "simulated weapons of mass destruction." A friend of the group says the suspicious devices were homemade stereos.
The dancers spent the weekend in jail. No charges were filed, but police say members of the group could face lesser charges, such as disorderly conduct.
(I love how the AP included "Fake" in the headline, lest we think that real zombies were arrested. hee!)
Here's the Trib version
Here's the mug shots here. It's immediately obvious who the real zombies are- the other two were apparently just pretending.
When zombies are criminalized, only criminals will eat brains.

At first I couldn't decide if you were joking or not. Dang... that's just... bizarre. So... where is the line between "too much makeup" and "enough makeup to get arrested?" And "simulated weapons of mass destruction?" Maybe I better start wearing my tin-foil cap again... just without any wires sticking out.
I'm guessing this may affect the number of people at the zombie pub crawl. Or should I say "FAKE zombie pub crawl?"
