Real Headline: Vampires Seek Tolerance, Understanding from Others
In absolutely no way does the media write these idiotic fake-"news" articles to coincide with interest in a popular movie opening up. You should definitely not suspect that entirely fake articles about pretend vampires are suddenly commissioned just because the new Twilight is opening.
I suppose I prefer this to another funemployment piece.Being a vampire is boring compared to the young, beautiful and powerful bloodsuckers appearing weekly on TV and movie screens.1, no it's not, because 2, there are no real vampires.
Merticus, an organizer of the 4-year-old Atlanta Vampire Alliance, said vampires are mostly like anyone else.Exactly like everyone else, Merticus, except for the psychological problems. Not "mostly." The "real vampires" in movies are mostly like humans, except for the superpowers. (By the way: Vampires are just superheroes for goths and emos; instead of being bitten by a radioactive spider, they're bitten by a sunken-cheeked goth of dubious sexual preference.) You are, on the other hand, exactly like everyone else.
"We could be the model-train group down the street from you," he said.You can only aspire to be the model-train group down the street from me.
And except the model-train group does not believe they are actually building real trains. They're not out in front of their houses passing out schedules and collecting boarding passes. And everyone who's ever had a cut has drank a little blood. It's salty. Film at 11.
Except the model-train group depends on electricity as a power source. Atlanta vampires believe they drain energy from people and some, yes, drink a bit of human blood to get the boost they need.
Merticus, who declines to give his real name...Oh, you mean his slave name?
... and alliance members claim they are different, physically or psychologically. They draw energy to feel good and stay healthy...Yes, "normal" humans draw energy to feel good and stay healthy, too. We call this energy "food."
...,and they absorb it psychically from close contact with "donors" or from drinking a tablespoon of blood from them maybe once a week. They do not claim mythic powers such as immortality, and the screen depictions are often off-putting to members.By off-putting I assume they mean "off-whacking." Everytime these guys see Lestat they come in their pants. Give me a break.
For instance, the vampires from the Twilight Saga..."For instance." The Twilight connection just off-handedly occurred to the writer! Oh, right, Twilight! Silly me, I'd almost forgotten to mention the pop-culture tie-in that is the entire point of this piece!
...the luridly romantic novel and movies for young adults, have skin that sparkles in sunlight. "That doesn't sit too well with us," Merticus said by phone.Poor kid's oppressed due to the non-diamond-sparkly color of his skin. Damn stereotypes about made-up pretend creatures.
And of course Abraham Van Helsing.
Sounds weird? That is why Merticus, a politically active small business owner in Atlanta, and the eleven other members of his group do not talk to outsiders about their alternate identities. They fear losing jobs, discrimination or shunning.
Few vampires have come out like the lady who posed for photos in a T-shirt and jeans for the Washington Post in 2008. "The only thing I objected to in the article is that we were painted as boring," Merticus said dryly.Dude, you dress up like a bat and obsess about movies made for 12 year old girls. How exciting could your life be?
Whoops, Twilight again. Thank goodness they mentioned it, because people reading this article might not know about Twilight.
Vampire groups have been around for decades, but the pop culture obsession fueled by the Twilight phenomenon (85 million novels sold worldwide)...
Laycock's book shows vampires are teenagers and grandmothers, stay-at-home moms and professionals.Well, without having written a book, I could have told you the two groups most commonly affected by "vampirism" were teens, followed distantly by very bored and somewhat schizophrenic housewives. I'd also be willing to wager, sans research, that "vampirism" affects a lot of chubby homosexuals who can't get laid the normal way.
... Merticus said the survey was a start to answering doubts like Ramsland's. The survey shows vampires report higher incidences of depression, asthma, migraines and other physical ailments.Really? "Vampires" are unhealthy, depressive geeks? Thank God for science.
He would love for genetic testing to take place to look for scientific explanations for their differences.Here's a scientific explanation: Marriage between first cousins.
In the meantime, "The only thing I would ask is tolerance," he said.And mascara that has that all-day "smeared from crying hot tears of despair" sexy look. Thanks to Gabriel Malor.

For good reason. Most employers do not want batshit crazy people working for them.

Same kind of insidiousness masquerading as tolerance, but Merticus is capitalizing upon it for a silly end, whereas there is a real possibility that an educrat is going to try to teach your second grader that women can become men and vice versa.

I enjoyed the first Twilight movie, it was stupid but entertaining. My daughter read the books so I have to take her.
I honestly don't know any kids like emos and shit like that. My kids are into athletics and academics, none of those other types come around.
The thing that was cool about Punks, metal heads, and the rejects of my day, they (we) were active. Made their own bands, went out and had fun. Went surfing and skating, physical activity was part of it.
These kids are dweebs.
Kids these days, sheesh.

No, of course not, the train does not run out of my house. There's not even a track.
I collect passes in the train at the station, of course. You don't collect the passes until after they board.

I was at a party once, he was there, and he had his face painted white, black eyeliner, the full costume. He made some asshole comment to a friend of mine, some kind of droll effete insult. My friend walked up to him and yanked a couple of the earrings out of his ear. The guy starting screaming and crying like a girl. He didn't fight back, just shrunk back, crying like a baby and left.
It sounds horrible but it was actually really funny.

Vampiress is laid off from high paying job in the local blood bank.

My sis used to drag me to a ton of punk/goth concerts until she went off to grad school. Muse, Tokio Hotel, HIM, AFI, Linkin Park, I'm sure. And 30 Seconds to Mars if that junk is still cool.

These people are so tedious. There is "marching to a different drummer" and there is "pathetic attention pandering". Guess which category playing Count Chocula earns you.
Also, I saw one episode of that True Blood show and thought it was crap. It did the standard lazy Hollywood thing regarding anything set in the South; everyone spoke in inauthentic accents like they were doing a high school Tennessee Williams play. If everyone had spoken Mandarin it would not have sounded any faker.

Scarier than the Transylvania vampire, the new Ukraine triple flu viral cocktail. A cocktail of three flu viruses are reported to have mutated into a single pneumonic plague, which it is believed may be far more dangerous than swine flu.
An unnamed source "doctor" described that the lungs of the corpses looked black as charcoal. By chance, were the flu victims smokers?
Having predicted an international death calamity, WHO was staggering under the disappointingly weak death toll from the Mexican Flu [btw, Californian Flu now]. WHO again is excited, given the new Ukraine plague to cultivate for market.
Daily Express (UK) World News by Greg Miskiw:
President Yushchenko said: “People are dying. The epidemic is killing doctors. This is absolutely inconceivable in the 21st Century.”
In a TV interview, the President added: “Unlike similar epidemics in other countries, three causes of serious viral infections came together simultaneously in Ukraine – two seasonal flus and the Californian flu
Universities, schools and kindergartens have been closed, public meetings have been banned and theatres shut. Last week several border crossings in the country were also closed.
Last night reports emerged of profiteering over face masks, which have sold out since the outbreak. There are also incidents of anti-virus medication being sold for exorbitant prices. A spokesman for the World Health Organisation said: “We do not have a time scale for the results of the tests in London, although some preliminary results have been obtained. I cannot tell you what they are.
“We did not have enough of the virus samples so we will have to grow some more before we can come to a conclusive decision about its nature.”

I'm all for marching to a different drummer. Heck, I always encouraged my kids to look different, listen to different stuff, etc, than their peers. But it was to attempt to define themselves based on no one else's expectations of them (other than being a responsible and productive member of civilization). These people are schizophrenic (among other issues). They exhaust themselves to be different, even hated, then demand that people accept and love them. Gah.

It's the Mad Lib "Oppressed in America" story. You could write this story about the plight of child rapists. In fact, if I taught J-school, that would be the assignment, write me a tear-jerker story about the suffering that child rapists have to endure.

From the how to tell if you're a vampire site.
A legitimate Vampire is able to safely digest more than 600% of the daily recommended amount of iron (RDA is 18mg 600% of that is 108mg). This can be tested by use of iron pills bought at almost any nutrition store or grocery store.

Didn't one of those groups use a picture of the suicide of one of the members as an album cover?
And yeah, he'd shot himself in the head with a shotgun.

When someone tells you that you suck all the energy out of a room, it's a metaphor. They're not talking about about any actual thing that sustains life. They just mean you're a drag to have around.

Yeah, it was Mayhem. One of their bandmates killed himself and someone put a picture of it on a bootleg album.
Fun.

252 comments and counting, on a vampire thread?
Some of us have moved on to much cooler yet still related topics, you know.
Either that or we really don't feel like doing any of that "productive" shit.

What else could they be drawing from blood other than energy?
Off the top of my head; HIV, Hepatitis B C & G, CJD, Lyme Disease, Malaria, Chagas, Toxoplasmosis...
If you aren't dead yet, keep playing at being a vampire and you'll get there quicker than you know, dumbasses.

30 Days Of Night is not a bad vampire flick.
I cannot get past the continuous, gratuitous blood and gore to actually enjoy the plot. Yes, I know: Vampire Movie. But even the Alien movies took a break from the gore to expose an actual plot.
