Vampire Wedding, Werewolf Witness

Useless without pix, I know. I hate when these articles pop up without images of which to properly make fun. More vampire fans getting married in England.
I don't know a single vampire who has ever expressed an interest in a human themed wedding.

Fox muses vampires

Are vampires real? Well, these three certainly aren't.

Fox muses the scientific possibility of vampires. The annual articles debating if vampires are real seem to be happening more often… or at least every time some stupid human-made vampire film is released.

Here comes the science.

Read it, and weep… tears of ketchup if you don't mind.

Vampire misinformation

Bill, Edward and Angel. The pretty faces of a campaign against anti-vambites.

As part of our misinformation campaign, we vampires have saturated the entertainment industry with various legends and lore regarding our existence. Have fun trying to figure out how we really turn you, and how we really devour you, and whether there really is any hope in destroying us. Have fun with that.

Scientists disprove my existence… dorks

Hmm. This is fishy. Inspired by the success of Twilight, I’m sure; physicists supposedly have proved that is impossible for vampires to exist.

Hel-looooo? Some of us prefer ketchup to you sour blood. Give it up, and go find a cure for cancer or something.

I found this awful anti-vambite bit at io9. Thanks for posting. Spread the word on these dorks so they can be the autumn’s Thanksgiving turkeys. I’m sure there are some vampires out there that celebrate it.

clicky.

School's out for vampires

Boston Latin High School is trying to quell rumors there are vampires among their students.

The article reads like a bad rumor. Very few facts, and lots of hearsay. Somebody was arrested, somebody was bitten, blah blah blah. The headmaster is an anti-zombite who won't acknowledge that vampires are students too. But people have more to learn.

Read the article.

Twilight - Breaking Dawn breaking rules

This sort of thing drives me batty. No kidding. Pun, intentional or not is putting it mildly.

A school library in Utah had taken Breaking Dawn of the Twilight series off the shelf because of one complaint about sexual content. They denied that was the reason, citing that other Twilight books were available at their library (okay, so then what's wrong with this one?).
Apparently the sex involved is marital too (and only implied), so what’s the problem?

I would withhold judgment before writing anything about this, but the grounds have no solid argument. There are countless jr. high and high school books that include implied and described sexual situations. Heck, the bible has implied sex. Just more anti-vambites who have a problem with a human/vampire relationship.

Better stay away from those Sookie Stackhouse novels, n00bs.

Read this if you want your blood to boil.

Anti-vambites are among us

Someone named Ashley Womble wrote a piece for the MSN Lifestyle section; and seems to think that vampires are mooches, thieves, clingy, and drama queens. I’m sure she’s using the term vampire in a derogatory way, and in no way is she describing real vampires. What I’d like to know is how she makes that association. Maybe she’s just got a bunch of high maintenance friends who’ve stolen her Facebook friends and taken advantage of her generosity. So, why is she an anti-vambite?

Check out this insane article.

Not for the squeamish

Yuckers. I found this list in a blog by Robert Brockway. He was completely grossed out by his list of “Most Disturbing Animals,” and I can’t say I blame him. These are creatures that will never come close to being cute. No matter how much I try, I just can’t bring myself to take one home.
How he managed to compile this list in three parts is beyond my ghoulish comprehension. I tip my fangs to you, Mr. Brockway. You have won the award for actually grossing me out.

Roberts lists get progressively more disgusting, so I’ve listed the worst first. However, you’ll find my two favorites posted below. Quite tame by his list’s standards.

Avert your eyes if you are squeamish.

Otherwise, enjoy these links:

This Vampire Squid would make a rockin’ motorcycle.

We’ve come a long way, baby

This Vampire Hunter’s Kit is evil in a box.

Back in the day it was fashionable to hunt and kill the undead. How horrific is that? I’m glad humans are more tolerable these days… and more tasty.

I found this link on another blog, but I’m linking directly to the scientific oddities page containing this vampire hunter’s kit. How droll.


To give credit where credit is due, Scribal Terror is where I originally found it.

Bella Cullen vampire girls

I have to admit, the music sounds a little “folksy” for my taste. They should try adding some Gregorian Chant and electronics…
BUT they are rockin’ along, and singing their song, these girls from the Bella Cullen Project. I don’t think they think they’re vampires, but they sure have an appreciation. I never did see them at any of the meetings. I can appreciate their song, “Sexy Vampire.”
Click here to read their interview and see a short video. Judge for yourself.
You go girls! I can’t believe I just said that :P

Hypocrites suck more than vampires

I’m sure I make mistakes all the time, but I still love to point out hypocrisy and bigotry whenever I see it. Here’s an editorial requesting that Emo go away along with Punk. It’s likely written by a bitter human who forgot they belonged to some unwelcome movement or genre when they were young. Or maybe they’re just boring.
I found the ad placement to be pretty comical. Right next to this article calling for the homogenization of young culture is an ad for vampirefreaks.com. I’m posting the link, but without their click-through code. Maybe I should become an affiliate myself.

Louis de Pointe du Lac and Angelina

Well, isn’t this special? Angelina Jolie is curious about vampires. Read the article here. Now we know why she’s keeping Brad Pitt all to herself. She’s thinking Brad Pitt is actually Louis de Pointe du Lac.

“Make sure you get the heart” will be mine.

Not really news — more like olds, but it’s history with attitude; and attitude is something I can respect. Check out Cracked’s list of tough last words. You’ll want to change your powder-puff ways and face your demise with nerve. Click here.

Something bugged me about this list, however. No women. Is that the editor’s fault? Maybe. I did a search to find something with more relevance to us grrls. The article is a tad old, but you get the picture. Women are just as tough as men, and are often overlooked. Click for last words and stories of unheralded heroines.

That’s more like it. Now where can I find those famous last words of brave monsters and vampires?

Gas for blood

I’ve got some competition. There’s no way I can match this. The Red Cross must be getting really thirsty. They’ve got a lot of vampires to feed, so they devised a new campaign to offer gas to feed your SUV in exchange for blood to feed their needs. Read about it here.
I can’t offer anything that good.

The girl is a vampire, sent to drain

There’s hope yet for the mortals. A vampire film won the top prize at the seventh Tribeca Film Festival. The Swedish film Let the Right One In is about a boy who falls for a vampire girl. It’s not me. I don’t have a high tolerance for humans. Read more here.
