Was it when Cruise & Pitt did their movie?

Over the last several years, Vampires seem to be hot! I think every channel this Fall will have a Vampire TV show!

I don't get it. Used to be, you just wanted to kill them. Now women want to f*** them.

It's because they sparkle in the sun now.

When fat and/or socially retarded girls attached their hopes and dreams to yet another fantasy.

It just seems strange that 3-4 years ago CBS tried 2 different Vampire TV shows and they both flopped. Forever Night was one of them, I think. One even had Rick Springfield in it.

Dracula would be proud. No more revolting peasants (In more ways than one! LOL) No more burned at the stake or Wesley Snipes trying to cut their heads off!

Rice ruined the vampire. The vampire was a great villain until she decided an emo monster was just what the public needed. Lace and overblown dramatics, hands almost stitched to their angst-filled foreheads.

Talk about Dracula does the suburbs. What next from her? Hipster Werewolves? Granola Mummies?

Our society's fascination with vampires comes and goes. I find it interesting to think about how our society views two very different forms of the undead: zombies and vampires.

Zombies and vampires are both undead creatures that (for the most part) transfer their undeadness through biting, so there are some similarities. But they are also incredibly different. I think people enjoy watching vampire movies because they represent everything they wish they could have -- money, power, respect, sex, life immemorial. By contrast, the zombie genre embodies everything we detest about humanity -- consumerism; the undead, soulless life; our animalistic nature.

Naturally, then, we glorify vampires and show zombies as the repulsive, decaying creatures they (and by extension we) are. Zombies are what we are, vampires are what we wish to be.

      ESPN and Cam Newton

      ESPN has a whole is just hot takes and the dumbest takes possible. That is why it sucks so badly. They intentionally drag everything down to a lightspeed retarded level so that it is unwatchable. No jounalism, no nuance, no in depth analysis....just idiot after idiot blabbering/shouting about some hot button issue that they really have no real strong opinions about until the camera is rolling.

      Young is the overwhelming priority. We have ample time on them and it's far easier to pivot at WR than QB. Remember that 2026 is year 4 for Bryce. That is 5th year option decision time and also the prime time to attempt to regain resources if a pivot is made. The odds of gaining any assets in a trade afterwards plumment very rapidly(all this depending on performance, obviously). At the end of that cycle, now we are likely in a $45+ million territory for him to remain.  So that decision trumps all others by a mile when it comes to personnel.
