I've set this page to have 2011 as its parent page, and linked from there to here. I did so because that's the established pattern we used for Mathematical Model for Surviving a Zombie Attack, Zombie Attack At Hierakonpolis, and 5 Popular Zombie Survival Tactics. But I'd just like to go on record as saying that none of these are really "news" so much as they are "essays", "editorial pieces", "theories" or "thought experiments", and some border on "fiction". Essentially, if any of these were long enough to be a book, we'd probably still make a page about them, but we wouldn't index them from our news section. They're essentially only on our news/years indexes just because they're short and we know what day they were published. It occurs to me that that's a little weird. It's not like anyone reading these pages is going to say "I wonder what else happened in 2007?", they're gonna say "what other zombie ideas are on this site". Please weigh in if you feel strongly, or have any good suggestions. I guess I'm okay with them staying listed as "news" even though it's a little inaccurate, but if anyone feels strongly enough to move these things (such as making the parent page for all of them "zombie" or "zombie apocalypse"), I'd be cool with that, too.
On a totally unrelated note, the "Professor Riley" mentioned (and quoted) repeatedly in the original article is a buddy of mine in Chicago that currently plays in a Continuum game I'm running on Skype. He's been teaching classes on zombies in the media for several years now, and ends up mentioned in news articles quite often because of it. "In the future, everyone we game with will be famous for 15 minutes." :)
