I can't be the only one sick of all this vampire bullshit.
At one time, I was a big fan of vampire lore. Hell, when I lost my virginity, The Lost Boys was playing in the background (total lie -- it was Mary Poppins). But while the vampire mythology was alluring, I grew up and moved on (to more serious stuff like Chupacabras, Bigfoot, etc.).
Today, if you go to the bookstore, Hot Topic, or turn on the television, it's vampires, vampires, vampires!
It's all Twilight's fault. Twilight rekindled our love affair with vampires. Twilight begat True Blood and The Vampire Diaries. It was announced today that the soundtrack of the Twilight sequel will contain lots of killer musicians: Death Cab For Cutie, Thom Yorke, Killers, Grizzly Bear, Muse, and Bon Iver. Vampires are everywhere!
But now it's really gotten out of hand.
I might have been standing in line at the gas station tonight. My eyes might have wandered to the row of magazines they don't sell at Target. And I might have seen this:
Vampires have officially jumped the shark.
What's next? Vampires on the Disney Channel?
Oh yeah. Too late for that.
Death to the undead!
