The Vampire Diaries is a new series on the CW (Thursday, 8 p.m.) adapted from a trilogy of books from the same name. The show rides in the coattails of the recent vampire boom. The tremendous success of Twilight in book stores and the big screen coupled with the popular HBO hit, True Blood has me convinced that America is suffering from some serious fang wounds right now.
But these are a special breed of vampires. These vampires are hot and have to worry about passing math or who they are going to take to the prom. What ever happened to, "I Come to SUCK your BLOOD!" They are nowhere to be found. Am I the only one who thinks Vampires should be wearing capes and not Abercrombie?
With Halloween approaching, I can only imagine what the 'straight up vampire' costume will be reduced to. The cape will probably be replaced with hair gel and plastic fangs with Invisalign Teen. Basic pale dudes in flannels and frowns asking for candy in low pitched monotone voices. Oh, the horror.

I'm willing to follow one blog, but two is too many. Can you just repost stuff from here into the digibook? Downsize buddy.
