28 Days Later zombie

The one citation in the entry, which is arguably actually of "non-28 Days Later zombie" and/or SOP, is the only citation I can find. - -sche (discuss) 23:12, 2 September 2012 (UTC)

Looks like tosh. Nothing citeable I can find on Google Books. ---> Tooironic (talk) 13:37, 5 September 2012 (UTC)

Yeah, I think so too. In zombie fandom, the debate's between "slow zombies" vs "fast zombies". ~ Röbin Liönheart (talk) 22:06, 5 September 2012 (UTC)

The definition and citation were:

1. (informal) A non-traditional zombie, characterised by the retention of the ability to run and implacable aggression.
   • 2011 November 3, "RT" (username), Cylon-like test mannequin, in alt.battlestar-galactica, Usenet:

     As recently as 2009, the PETMAN — or Protection Ensemble Test Mannequin — was little more than a circuit board connected to hydraulics that terminated in mannequin feet. Now it weighs 180 pounds, looks like the Terminator with the skin burned off, walks much faster than any non-28 Days Later zombie and can do a push-up.
