Mr. T, Zombie Poetry on NTV Station Today

Zombie Poetry, today’s little gem, comes courtesy of Boing Boing, and we owe them our hearty thanks. You would think the undead wasn’t able to appreciate the finer things in life, like poetry and jazz, but even during the end times it’s possible to get in a little culture. The fact that this is actually a viral book ad doesn’t detract at all from the short’s high production values and great direction. And I’d say all that even if I weren’t a zombie enthusiast.

And Mr. T, Mr. T, wherefore art thou, Mr. T? The 80s icon’s appearance virtually guarantees viral success, but despite a number of wildly popular clips, the actor/bouncer/bodyguard’s online presence remains largely nonexistent. Why is Mr. T perfect for web audiences, and what are Internet entrepreneurs missing out on? We ask the hard questions today at NewTeeVee Station.
