Zombies v. Vampires

[Cool-Beans]

The Zombies I'm familiar with don't seem to be controlled by anyone but just wander around aimlessly. Most are very slow but of course some filmmakers had to make fast zombies recently.

From what I've seen, vampires are fast, can turn into other animals if they need to and are highly intelligent. They are also good fighters - if you are into Spike and Angel. They do need food in a way (blood) and their biggest problems are light and garlic (in some cases).

And chips in the head. And evil law firms. And Slayers, of course.

Isn't it a little ethnocentric to assume the smart, fast, capable ones are Americans? Perhaps they are "undead Canadians"?

I apologize for my ethnocentrism.

The new term shall be "Undead Peoples." (It is common PC practice to add an "s" to "people" for no reason, so don't argue that with me. It is just what you do.)

zombies would not be able to kill vampires. so vampires win easily.

I'm sinking to a new low in debating this, but...

Vampires aren't dead. They're undead. The person that was in there - that person is gone, their soul is gone - but the vampire itself isn't dead until it is killed.

I suppose I could be wrong. Please tell me if I am. (If you want to sink to the low of debating the deadness of a vampire. )

Oh yea...my favorite thing.
Dead, undead....same thing. Wrap your brain around that.

Undead just means that they are reanimated to life through blood. However technically they are dead as far as tissue.

So just send in italian zombies with UV lights strapped to their heads!

Vampires, clearly.
