How has Twilight Attacked ur town?
 

Twilight in NC isnt that extreme but the stores are like stocked with all of these twilight, new moon things! I mean from b-day stuff to burger king cups! Its just CRAZI! Im surprised that they havent had an in flatable edward floating around! I heard that its even more extreme in other countrys so let me know! My english teacher HATES the whole twilight saga,! She thinks its dreadful! But i dissagree! Im not a #1 twilight fan, but i like the book series.

LOL We're gonna have an Edward Cullen float in the Christmas Parade xDDDDD

I don't let it bother me but Stephenie Meyer is a hack who goofed up the vampire legend.

and werewolf!

i just call em twinklefairys and keep walking ...

it hasnt effect- *crash* sorry one sec a twilight fan girl came crashing through my window. (yes that way, yes the cinima is that way.)
phew got rid of her... now where was i.... oh yeh it hasnt effected my town that ba- *crash* ... sorry bout this. (i told you the cinima it tha- no im not edwerd now just go that way.)
... yeh so it isnt realy that bad here

The only way Twilight is noticeable is through unavoidable corporate advertisements (Safeway, Burgerking, Etc.)

I'd say the Twilight series is more appealing commercially than as an actual piece of literature. :rolleyes:

'Literature'? *eyebrow raise* Sir, I think not!

it has not been here yet. anyone who will bring it to here will most likely be killed by me.(im actually a very nice person, but i have my limits to xD)

Its just some middle-aged womans sexual fantasy.

So apparently the sexual fantasies of middle age women have a huge appeal to teens? I understand that is the demographic most obsessed with the stuff.

Here in Japan I`ve barely seen anything to do with it. I think I spotted a little poster in the corner of a shop telling when the first DVD would be out.
No, wait, I think the tiny picture was in a used book store as it was pushing discounted novels.

Really not much publicity here.

I am a boy in his early 20's and it is mine too:mtongue:

Some people do get into it WAY too much though. The writing is atrocious but that does not stop me from wanting Edward. Yes, I am sometimes like a 12 year old girl...

there are as many 30's to 40's women that very hooked on it .. they are only just now starting to openly admit it ...

i compare the books to a modern twist of a harlequin romance novel ...

What? You're a homosexual in his early twenties who takes interest in stuff marketed to 12 year old girls?

This speaks levels about Twighlight fans.

Ugh, all of my friends and even some family members are into it.
It's extraordinarily overhyped. I read the first 3 books back in the day and thought they were okay. Then I saw the movie and thought it was cheesy as hell.
Plus, sparkly vampires? That's the dumbest idea ever. Vampires are supposed to burn up in the sun!!! :mad:

When did the backstreet boys get super powers?

Not really, I dont talk to people who like Twilight, I barely see people with Twilight shirts, my sister reads it but thats about it.

First you comment-flame in a thread about yaoi, then you accuse another forum member of being homosexual?

This speaks volumes about true intentions, Tenchu.

i would put it more in line with new kids on the block ...

by viewing this thread, i just spot Twilight on restaurant chains today -__-
however, Twilight Saga doesn't seem as popular as the first one.. since i haven't heard anyone at school or other ppl talk about it as much, or seen ads and etc. anywhere.
however, i do remember the first time when Twilight was out. it was everywhere and all talked-about.

i actually, and most literally, loled at that xDD

I aim to please. :P

I have heard there are adult products for Twillight:confused: what the heck has Twillight done to us, It has invaded my local Hot Topic and bookstores

Twilight what?

Twilight not really popular in my town, which is good for me cuz twihards get on my nerves.

There are tons of fans here, but my city is too small and poor to have anything other than that. There are a few projects in my school library that are Twilight related, and the librarian set up a small display of the books (why, I'll never know). But that's about it.

I'm a full on Anti-Twilighter, so if my city decides to do anything Twilight related, I'll be bashing whoever is in charge with strongly worded letters ;)

What? What!? Oh crimeny; and I thought the Eddie Sullen brand body glitter for men was bad enough.

Also I cannot think of anything more disturbing than his face on a condom. He gnaws through Bella's uterus for crying out loud. Is that what you want to be reminded of at a time like that?

Then again... visual contraceptive.

Sorry, sorry, it's body 'shimmer'. You know, because that makes it less stupid and more manly for all those... real men... who shop at Hot Topic...

Also for the season: Amazon.com: Twilight "Edward" Stocking: Toys & Games

Doesn't that just make you feel christmassy!

I went to Icing by Claire's the other day and I saw Edward Cullen cologne. Everything you could put his face on was in Hot Topic; diaries, T-shirts, calendars, pencils, keychains, and more. I saw so much jewelry and makeup with 'Edward' on it I wanted to burn the damn store. Even my college store is selling portfolios and notebooks with his face on 'em.

I'm scared to go shopping again until this fad passes over in a few years.

You elitists should be hating on the hack author not the fans who are almost victims.

The author is smart (moar money), the fans are idiots.

"smart" is a simple word, she's a lucky hack just like many before her.

I don't know, actually, I don't think she's as bad as Dan Brown. His book was just as poorly written but it was clearly quite a calculated money spinner; he knew what to write that would stir the waters from things he'd already studied. The one that rocketed him to fame also wasn't his first book, Smeyer's was.

Smeyer, in contrast, doesn't have that kind of background to support such a theory. Her writings simply have something in them (a bit mills and boonish, really, with hip goffik overtones) that appeal narrowly to bored housewives and teenage girls; ie females with a strong ability to suspend belief from reality. In other words, she's not smart enough to manipulate the market; she is just already so close to the mindset of her readers that it has massive appeal.
