“Sexy Vampires are Destroying Our Nation’s Children” Says Columnist

There is a column at the Gainesville Sun entitled “Sexy vampires are destroying our nation’s children”–which explains why Twilight and True Blood are the cause of all evil with our nation’s youth. No, I’m not kidding–

Despite the recent influx of vampire-related content into the mainstream media and the youthful enthusiasm that accompanied it, vampirism still remains a dangerous threat to our nation’s children. Unchecked interest in vampires can lead to unfortunate summer wardrobe choices, rickets and diabetes. We can’t afford to lose our kids to these flashy, sexy, fly-by-night vampire impersonators who continue to fill their heads with untruths about the vampire lifestyle.

Read the rest of the (intentionally funny, I hope) rant at the newspaper’s website.

Jackson Rathbone Looking Forward to Eclipse

Jackson Rathbone was asked why they didn’t get much into his backstory during New Moon, and he told TeenMag–

“Well it doesn’t really come out too much in the book. It’s one of those things were it’s understood but in the third book it really comes out like the back story and everything.

“I think one of the things we didn’t want to get too much into was focusing on all the other vampires.

“We wanted really to establish this relationship and how she (Bella) gets sucked into the world of the Cullen family and once she’s in the world that’s when things kind of start coming out.

“One of the things about Jasper is he doesn’t use the ability all the time. It’s something that he’s very strict about using because it’s like an invasion of privacy to make someone feel something, to manipulate emotions.”

Jasper Hale + Spongebob: The Need for Bella’s Blood

If that title sounds confusing, well just watch the video–someone took some audio from Spongebob Squarepants, and put it with video of Jasper and his fight against wanting Bella’s blood during the papercut scene in New Moon. The result? I can guarantee you’ll watch this twice!
