Fucking Vampires

Now there's a new show coming out this fall called The Vampire Diaries. This annoys me. Ever since Twilight captured the otherwise almost-nonexistent attention of tween girls everywhere, every new novelist that wants to break out into the writing scene has made their own twosted version of Stephanie Meyers' bloodsucking romance. Now I'll admit I'm a fan of the Twilight novels, but that's where it ends. Just the novels; not those monstrous atrocities that Hollywood makes a pathetic attempt at passing off as the movie adaptations. I mean, isn't one teen almost-cannibalistic forbidden love affair enough?! I should not be punched in the face by a table full of Twilight knock-offs whenever I pass the New in Teen Fiction table in Barnes and Noble while I'm on my way to the True Crime section. And you know what the worst part is? The kids buy into it. They actually fucking force their parents to spend their money on these ridiculous books when those dead presidents could be put to much better use. Like food, clothing, BILLS! Meh. It doesn't matter. People need to make money any way they can, even if it means leeching off of someone else's ideas. It's been done that way for centuries and it will be done that way for centuries to come.
