It all started with a book; the damn Twilight saga that took over the entire world and what would be the start of the vampire obsession in media from young middle school students to the moms who use their excuse as, “I’m really here for my daughter but in reality I’m team Edward.”
I was always the one to judge and just laugh at how stupid everyone looked holding a twilight book. I mean I heard they consisted of vampires, they were thick books like the Harry Potter ones, and if they had anything similar to do with this nerdy wizard fantasy life Harry Potter had, I was not interested!
But it all took off for me after my brother introduced me to the hacked on, downloaded copy of the Twilight movie on his computer. The romantic aspect of Edward, a vampire, and Bella, a pale, fragile, and ordinary girl, and their unique way of kissing won me over. But that moment would be the end of me. Do you know how long it took for me to find a ticket that was not sold out for the second movie without being bombarded with crazy young girls and their T-shirts, and the obsessed moms who should be doing something else with their time? I mean was it really worth it to wait two weeks for this movie about vampires? YES, it was and will always be for me until next year when the next sequel comes out. But I must say vampire life has become super popular with society and super easy thanks to True Blood.
True Blood is what I envision seeing every time Edward and the wolves fight, or every time Edward and Bella are “lying” down on her bed; True Blood is this sexy, raunchy, gory HBO episode of vampires that leaves my dying until its next season’s premier in June.
Sookie has left every guy fantasizing about her body; Bill has left every female wanting a “genuine, vulnerable, protective” man as their boyfriend, and the sex scenes by far leaves everyone drooling – they leave dirty talking and spanking a boring aspect of being naughty.
So is it wrong to be obsessed with fangs and dirty vampire sex? Is it wrong to wish your boyfriend looked like Edward, but have a little Jacob in him, (and I mean those abs!) I mean is it so wrong I wish MY boyfriend had fangs every time his adrenaline rushes? In reality, the media has won us over with the new vampire fad and we have nobody to blame but ourselves. As long as we don’t go out and buy fang teeth from Wal-Mart for 2.99 to wear, I can say were still normal.
