It’s official.
Twilight has become the bane of my existence.
Stephanie Meyers should be sued for making stalkers seem appealing. I have tried for months to avoid those books, but I actually sat down to read the first one the other day (as a means of being able to relate to the mini-Bella’s in my classes) and nearly gouged out my eyes. I swear, if my ears started bleeding due to the massive hemorrhage that occurred when he licked her tears (I kid you not, the bastard licked her tears) I would not have been surprised.
We should remove that section of the brain that allows that woman to dream up such cliché plot lines, and install some logic – something she so obviously lacks. Does that woman know anything about mythology? Did she do her research? I’m genuinely curious, because the man/woman/thing that made sparkling vampires seem plausible should also be sued.
Now, I’m aware that the things don’t exist, but if you’re going to write a story that has vampires in it, do the world – nay, do yourself a favor and don’t give them lip gloss and make them stalker-creepy, or you will be despised by people who know what good literature looks like.
With that being said, this Calvin and Hobbes strip is fantastic. Oh Calvin. You riot, you.
