These Dead Were Made for Walkin’
It’s a new trailer for AMC’s The Walking Dead! It’s shorter, more action-packed and not quite as epic as the previous ones, but it’s certainly good and makes me want to watch the show. But really, I’m just totally pleased with myself for my article title — embarrassingly, disgustingly pleased. I did a very brief Google search to see if anyone made this horrible wordplay before, but it appears I am first, for which I am still congratulating myself. If you’ve seen someone else combine The Walking Dead with the song “These Boots Are Made for Walkin’,” please, please don’t tell me. This is as good as my day’s going to get. (Via THR)

He brought the site to prominence with “nerd news, humor and self-loathing” as its motto, raising it from total internet obscurity to a readership in the millions, with help from his savage “FAQ” movie reviews and Fan Fiction Fridays. Under his tenure Topless Robot was covered by Gawker, Wired, Defamer, New York magazine, ABC News, and others, and his articles have been praised by Roger Ebert, Avengers actor Clark Gregg, comedian and The Daily Show correspondent John Hodgman, the stars of Mystery Science Theater 3000 and Rifftrax, and others. He is currently the managing editor of io9.com. Despite decades as both an amateur and professional nerd, he continues to be completely unprepared for either the zombie apocalypse or the robot uprising.
