I walked into Walmart this evening only to behold a shrine to Twilight- books & posters, & clothing & accessories, advance order movie slips & school supplies in abundance. There was a girl looking at a movie poster caressing the face of Edward.
AM I THE ONLY PERSON WHO FINDS ALL OF THIS HIGHLY DISTURBING?
Am I the only person in the world who read the Twilight series & recognized it for what it is - a barely contained romance novel?
Vampires, shmampires.
Twilight is about sexual tension & raging hormones.
I honestly feel sorry for all of the impressionable adolescents who have become hooked on the rush that inevitably comes from feeding such baser chemical reactions, but it cannot be denied that Edward is nothing but the product of a dopamine induced euphoria. He is not real. He never will be. Wake up & see what the world really has to offer.
If what you want truly is a guy who breaks into your house in the middle of the night & watches you sleep, become pen pals with a convict. I'm sure you'll find any number of creepers that will fit the bill. If you truly want a relationship based purely on physicality & lust for "blood," I'm sure you'll find that too, but seriously, who are we fooling here? That is not what we truly want & obsessing over a fantasy is clearly not how we get it.
Oh WOW, I think I just heard a few bubbles burst.
