“Our legendary personalities are evergreen ‘brands’ with the benefit of worldwide recognition,” reads a message on the Richman agency’s website. Guardian UK Article *vomits* Where is the line drawn between “public figure” and “celebrity”? How can a dead person have an agent, particulary where there are no specific works concerned other than a sense of character? It’s one thing to insist that Duck Soup is a work that should be protected (which any more simply means controlled by whomever has the most buX0rs), but shouldn’t personalities and such pass into the public domain as well? ( boingboing : Bill Gates 0wns Einstein, Groucho , Freud, Asimov, Fuller, et al )

It's funny, because RE4 arguably doesn't have zombies in it, and the French ad looks more like a Buffyverse thing than a zombie OR the Iberian villagers that are the mainstay villain in RE4.

I still have a nostalgic fondness in my heart for the incredibly bad dialogue of the first game: http://www.audioatrocities.com/games/residentevil/index.html
