15 MINUTES OF LIVING DEAD INFAMY, by BONGO on Apr 30, 2008 17:03:06 GMT 1, BONGO THINK THIS MAY BE OF USE. BONGO KNOWS IT IS GENUINE
"Hello everyone. Here's an appeal.
Ever fancied being a zombie? You have? Good. Because this is a once-in-a-deathtime chance to be part of a terrifying undead army of the damned.
We need volunteer zombies willing to appear in Dead Set, a horror thriller type thing Iโve written for E4 / C4. It will doubtless be the finest TV programme ever made: one youโll tell your children about for hours until they beg you to shut up. And you can get involved.
On either Thursday 8th or Friday 9th May weโre shooting some unpleasantry involving a horde of undead bastards swarming around trying to eat people. Iโll be there in person myself, mingling in amongst the crowd. I wonโt need much make-up. If the cameras aren't rolling, feel free to say hello and annoy me.
Does this sound like the sort of thing youโd like to take part in? And are you available on at least one of those dates? Hooray. Letโs have your details. But first, a few pointers, which should help sort the rotten wheat from the decomposing chaff:
1. Please donโt volunteer unless youโre prepared to โgo the distanceโ, as some t**t off The Apprentice might say. Weโll be shooting from late afternoon until the wee small hours of the morning. There will be moments where you get bored (something real zombies never do, of course). We need people who wonโt slope off somewhere. Committed zombies only please.
2. Wear your s**ttest clothes. By which I mean items you donโt mind getting fake blood and dirt on. They may get ruined. But hey โ youโll have a nice souvenir. Also, try not to wear bright colours. Our zombies have been standing around outside for several days. London Fashion Week this is not. Ooh, and these are โmodernโ running zombies, so donโt wear high heels or anything daft like that.
3. Please donโt plaster yourself with your own fake blood or make-up. These aren't 'funny' zombies. Weโll either take care of it for you or position you at a distance where it wonโt matter. If you own your own pair of white iris contact lenses and youโre happy to wear them, thatโs great โ you may even get a whopping great close-up โ but if you donโt, donโt take risks with your own eyes.
4. Remember what I said about wearing s**tty clothes? Make sure youโve got a nice layer on underneath. It may get cold out there.
5. You have to be at least 18 years of age and in good health.
6. We will arrange transport to and from the location, which is in the middle of pissing nowhere. Weโll set up a meeting point in London and take you from there by bus.
Interested in being a zombie? Then email zombies@zeppotron.com with your name, age and contact details (phone, email, address). Put 'ZOMBIE' in the subject heading. We will contact you with further information (where, when, how, etc) as the time nears. Feel free to pass this information on to friends, but make sure they read and digest all the pointers above.
Happy deading, Charlie Brooker"

Here's some of his stuff, he is very funny. I don't think his Wikipedia page gives a fair picture of him

15 MINUTES OF LIVING DEAD INFAMY, by funyoung on May 1, 2008 10:53:59 GMT 1, Thanks saltandiron. Never read the Guardian myself. With good reason it seems
Anyway, aTeaButNoE said in the comments: " It smacks of a desire to look controversial for the sake of stiring things up in time for a copy deadline. "
I tend to agree.
