Boycott Twilight!!

Recently I was a fan of Stephenie Meyer's Twilight series, and even more recently I came to strongly dislike it. I found out a little piece of information last night that is spurring me to write this blog. So, with no further ado, let me present:

20 Reasons Why Twilight SUCKS

1. The Twilight movie is the reason why the opening of Harry Potter has been pushed to July 2009

2. The book is based on the author's forbidden Mormon wet dream.

3. I firmly believe that Stephenie Meyer TOTALLY RIPPED OFF Charlaine Harris's Sookie Stackhouse series which came out four years before Twilight.

4. Stephenie Meyer won't admit that she ripped anyone off--she denies that she's ever read any vampire literature before.

5. The Twilight series is infused with the author's anti-feminist Mormon values.

6. The main character's name is Isabella (which means beautiful) Swann. Barf.

7. Renesmee.

8. Bella is the most pathetic dependent person an author could have conceived, who can't function when Edward is gone. The book implies that a woman is nothing without a man.

9. Another Mormon infusion: Bella graduates high school, gets married to a MUCH older man, and IMMEDIATELY has a baby.

10. Werewolves "imprinting" on babies and children. Gross. Reminds me of medieval betrothing.

11. Plot holes pepper the last book.

12. Meyer spends three books writing about the terror of newborn vampires, but when Bella becomes a vamp this is a non-issue, and there is no explanation why not.

13. Half of the last book is spent building up for a fight that never happens. Meyer probably wants to make some money off another book.

14. Edward is very controlling.

15. Weird bruise-causing vampire sex.

16. Edward and Bella can't have sex before they're married, and personally I'm a huge fan of premarital sex :P

17. The author calls vampire spit "venom"--it just always bothered me.

18. Twilight devoured valuable hours of my life that I can never have back--on my deathbed I will be saying, "Need...more.......time..........Shouldn't....have...read...............Twilight."

19. Renesmee--that IS a stupid made-up name a young teenage mother would choose, almost like Abcde.

20. Disgusting bone-breaking demon baby pregnancy.
