To see if zombies could live among us, AMC had a group of people made up as zombies from The Walking Dead and set them loose on New York City. How did people react? You'll have to watch the video to find out.
Was this created to promote The Walking Dead Season 3? In a way, yes, but it's mainly being used as part of their campaign to get AMC back on DISH Network:
"AMC Networks regrets that Dish has deprived you of the programming on AMC, WE tv, IFC and Sundance Channel. DISH continues to charge you for these networks; you just no longer receive them.
To clarify the situation, AMC Networks and DISH are not in a fee negotiation of any kind. We have not requested more money from DISH. The networks have been removed by DISH to gain leverage in an unrelated lawsuit.
We know DISH has been urging AMC fans to pay additional monies to see their favorite shows online. It seems unusual to us for a television provider to ask their subscribers to pay extra money to see the same shows that they are already paying for, and that their neighbors are getting, as part of their basic TV subscriptions.
The good news is every cable, phone and satellite company other than Dish carries AMC in its basic package and many providers are right now offering special incentives for people to switch and not miss Breaking Bad, Hell on Wheels, The Walking Dead and other favorite programs."
Regardless of the specifics or who is at fault, this is a big problem for fans of The Walking Dead that are on Dish. For everyone else, though, we can sit back and see what else AMC has up their sleeves. Hopefully, some more Walking Dead-related viral content.
