The Minneapolis city attorney's office has decided to pay seven zombies and their attorney $165,000, which settles a federal lawsuit the seven filed after they were arrested and jailed for two days for dressing up like zombies in downtown Minneapolis on July 22, 2006, to protest "mindless" consumerism.
