The title of this post was inspired by the excellent A List Apart article by Erin Kissane (published on October 24, 2005). As Erin puts it:

“You’ve seen them around the web, these zombie sentences. They’re not hard to recognize: syntax slack and drooling, clauses empty of everything but a terrible hunger for human brains.”

The following quotes are just a few examples from the extraordinary stream of zombie copy that is the d2e™ Logic website. The copy goes to such extremes of meaninglessness that I sometimes wonder whether this site/company was created as a joke. However, they actually used to be a client of my previous employer so this stuff is for real.

It seems that they also were great believers in irony when they decided to call their company d2e, which stands for down to earth.

In no particular order of preference (every single sentence is zombie copy of the highest quality):
