Dublin Zombie Walk 2010 clashing with Gay Pride march - routes to intersect!

Executive Steve

Ok - just been informed that Dublin Zombie Walk 2010 and the Dublin Gay Pride 2010 march are happening on the exact same day - and that their marching routes may very well intersect! Epic subcultural collision lol surely awaits us as the result of this presumably unintended double-booking of these two marvelous events!


Mods please don't move to the Dublin forum yet, I think despite our various locations within this wide and diverse Ireland that we can all appreciate the lol here, even if there's neither Gays nor Zombies outside of D4 and the Cork Hurling panel

I guess we will find out if transgenders really have female brains after all.

Good work on the organisers part though - it's making me want to attend both despite being neither gay nor undead!

I say cover me in chocolate and throw me to the lesbians, or would that be the zombies!

They're going to make a film about it:
28 gays later.

Finally an undead rendition of the YMCA might be a possibility.

I once knew a gay zombie - he was in dead earnest.

Could be worth a trip over just to see.

Pirates and Zombies and Gays- oh my!

We need find a techno viking to add to the mix.

It won't kick off unless one of the zombies accidentally wears the same outfit as one of the gays.

Kooky students, hipsters & douchebags all aboard the bandwagon for the zombie walk! I wonder what fad it'll be next.
They stopped listening to The Darkness a few years ago, they stopped e-mailing Chuck Norris facts shortly after that, and in a few years they won't be into Zombies anymore either... Lame people are lame.

But what about the homosexuals? C'mon Forest Master don't let the gays escape your withering gaze!

Sure lets all sit in listening to the same band, wearing the same clothes, moaning about the same things, watching re-runs of the same shows, talking to the same people and having the same unfounded smug sense of superiority forever. Why not, sounds like fun.....

I don't get the whole Zombie fad thing either but wouldn't be such pretentious high horse merchant that i'd put anyone down about it. What harm are they doing? None? Yeah thought so.

Not my thing... but have fun you bunch of gay zombie bastards!

Feel like attending the zombie walk now, just so I can see my girlfriend's reaction in the Pride parade. Stupid lack of a bus fare.

I think the two should join. Dr Frank-n-furter style.

:rolleyes: So you think anyone who isn't into kooky fads must, by process of elimination, fall into the above category? Great logic there!

If only Michael Jackson was still alive

EDIT: Actually wait, does it matter? Undead Michael Jackson visits Gay pride.

It's as valid an opinion as yours which is "If I don't like something then anyone who does is an annoying douchebag".

Well if that's not what you're saying, then why say it??

Fair balls to them for trying to raise a bit of cash for cancer.

Oh and Zombies aren't a fad by any stretch of the imagination.

I'm still waiting for him to zing those pesky hipster homosexuals.....

Read into the post a little. The point is you can try new things or just do the same thing all time not trying anything new. Nearly every activity is called a fad when it starts by negative people. Trying new things seems to be the better option of the two especially in this case where it's a harmless activity that keeps some people amused and spreads a little happiness.

Why would you call people lame for something that doesn't affect your life, harms nobody, is a laugh and has people up off there arses amusing themselves rather than putting people down to make yourself feel good?

Does it make you feel big? Do you get a smirk? Do you think "Hmmm, good post. That'll show them all how much better than them I am"?

They're people having some craic. Give them a break.

And it's also the same date as the AH beers. Coincidence? I wonder. :pac:

This could turn into the Love (Herman) Munster parade.

Not really relevant to the thread, I just love the video and lyrics...

Why do you hang around with them then? Surely you only have to listen to them talk if you spend time with them?

I have no choice. They're in my school and they're in like every single one of my classes. Its be friends with them or be friends with no-one unfortunately even if I wish they'd all fall off the face of the earth :P

Maybe the zombie walkers will think the Gay Pride marchers are Zombies and shoot them all. Could happen.

Lmfao, does anyone else see this happening?

The day actually went off very well. The only overspill was in templebar.

But everyone got on like a house on fire.
Some good pics and videos on the Facebook page.

It was a brilliant Pride this year. Weather could not have been better. Estimates of 25 to 30,000 people marching in the parade and the same number again lining the route.:) Largest Dublin Pride to date.


Great post parade party at Civic Offices. The little park there is getting too small though for the sheer size of the number at Pride these days.

Marched in it myself with a few mates for some of the route!:cool::pac:

And the Gardai even had their new gay Gardai group (GForce) with a recruitment stand at the Civic offices park. Light years from the way things were even just a decade ago.
