Twilight, really?

In Borders yesterday, I was surrounded by Twilight stuff. It was...well...terrifying.





Now, I realize that some of this is on me because I do not understand the appeal of the franchise...

A) Dude, you're over 100 and you want to date teenagers and go to high school? What kind of ridiculous premise is that?

B) They "sparkle"?

C) Vampires with a conservative Christian overtone make...perfect sense.

Yes, I have a bias here. But...can I be that disconnected from the larger culture or is this one of those badnesses that I am immune from because I really could give a rats ass about what teenagers think is cool. Teenagers are rarely cool themselves and the Tweens (they are the presumed market, right? Tweens and single women with lots of cats.) are never cool.

My hope is that this will be dead and buried before TEA becomes involved, because....I would hate to have to stake him.
