Stalking vs. Love

If you've ever talked to me about the whole Twilight craze, you know I have many things to say about it. Few of those words are positive. One of the "character traits" of that Edward fellow that just doesn't rub right with me is that he is a stalker.

Ladies, he stalks Bella (is that her name?). If I were to watch someone who I'm not in an intimate relationship with while they sleep, I could be arrested. The creepiness doesn't change just because you have glittery skin and fangs. Actually, that just means you were probably kicked around as a kid in high school. I'm sorry for that. Kids are jerks.

I'll ignore that I've been told that the first book has middle school grammar mistakes or that the girls who fawn of this Edward fellow have a propensity for black clothes and white make-up. I'll even ignore that this book was written by a Mormon (which, considering the Orson Scott Card debacle, is a tough thing to do), but what I cannot ignore is that girls all over the world are being deluded into believing that aggressive and potentially dangerous behavior is a sign of deep love. It's not.

Buffy the Vampire Slayer knows that stalking does not equal love though and she is out to make other girls know it too. Here I present Twilight Remixed.

Way to punch Twilight fans in the face! I laughed so hard in Twilight and everything you said here were my exact thoughts in-movie.
