I just wanted to reach a helping hand out to the insulted Buffy fan and say: you are not alone in your annoyance with the influx of vampiric culture/fanatics etc. I have found myself annoyed at times also; I used to just have to hear my friends who liked the books drone on at school before it gained critical acclaim and became a movie, so you can imagine my distaste when I saw the preview and witnessed those who would have made fun of them previously now gushing over the ever desireable Edward Cullen. Thankfully, to my pleasing, a couple weeks ago I was watching Saturday Night Live and saw this gem:
This is a trailer for “Firelight,” a perfectly executed satire that seems to be laughing at not only twilight, but the popularity of vampire culture in general by replacing vampires with frankensteins. It is uplifting that you can always count on popular culture to acknowledge when things are getting out of hand, even if it is usually their own doing. For those “true” vampire fans out there, I suggest you protect your dignity this weekend and stay indoors for the premiere of New Moon and save yourself the hassle of being consumed by a crowd of crazed thirteen year old girls.
