Anthony: Twilight and the Twitards

For those of you who are lucky enough to be sheilded from this plauge in book form, Twilight, or the Twilight Saga is a poorly written series of vampire romance books which is now being converted into a poorly written and acted series of vampire romance movies.

Normally, I'd just go "Oh, look. No, wait, don't." and go drink some tea and forget about the whole damn thing. My life would be better for it too.
But the most allarming thing about this movement, and I call it a movement for later explained reasons, is its very scary and rapidly exploding fanbase. I should actually call it a 'fagbase', or a 'crazy-obsessive-spastic-base', but for simplicities sake, we stick with fanbase.

There are an astoundign number of people that like this series. Most of them are batshit insane.
Case in point: 40-year old mothers outside studios and movie theaters clamoring for one of the lead actors, a predominatley-shirtless twenty-something. Note that if it were men clamouring for a female, they would all be arrested, because that's just creepy.

You get rabid fangirls who stalk people because they look like one of the main characters, stab people who dont 'believe in Twilight', and otherwise disrupt the normal lives of others.
Go to www.twilightsucks.com, or just google twilight sucks, and you will find a site dedicated to unveiling the giant, readable turd that this series is. On the forums, they have a particularly disturbing section, a catalouge of twilight offenses.

We're talking bricks to the head, home invasion, stabbing, clubbing, abuse, broken limbs and flare gun burns. Almost all by the twilight fans. There are a few incidents where the roles have been reversed, but they are the 5% minority.

Search google, do your own research, and see just how far this thing is going. Its like a religious movement sweeping across the world. The Twilightism. (On a completley unrelated note, join Alex's new religion, The Church of Dowlaaand: It's at least more legit that Scientology)

Have fun, and recognise the series for what it is: An overblown fanfiction about sparkly, vegitarian vampires.
