Somebody shoot me. He's back, this time in some pretentious teenage drama.
That's right. That douche from Twilight decided he hadn't done enough damage, and went and got himself in a vampire tv show. Titled "The Vampire Diaries", it would seem to be another disgusting ploy to lure all tweens into some state of fixation.
[Picture omitted because I felt it would be an injustice to any unsuspecting viewer to have one. If you wanna see it, here's the

Looks a little more... masculine than last time.
Oh.
God.
THERE'S TWO OF THEM!
Cue ominous music.
As if one cock of a vampire wasn't enough, they've gone and got another one. They're polluting our airwaves with this crap.
We can pray that this won't inspire such a broad scale following as Twilight, but I'm not getting my hopes up.
And the co-star! Another expressionless actress who looks akin to a junkie!
Oh wait.
So maybe these creators deserve a little credit. They've countered the vampire man-douche with Nina Dobrev, who as you can see is no depressed almost-jailbait (for you older folk).
It's like they've just thrown her in there as if to say "We know what we're doing is wrong, but we want money, so we present you, the tortured viewer, with Nina. She is our apology."
So consider this post a warning. It may happen again. Prepare for more bad acting, terrible scripts and worldwide obsession.

Couldn't you just solicit some vampire pr0n in placement?
"That douche from Twilight decided he hadn't done enough damage, and went and got himself in a vampire tv show"
This guy wasn't in Twilight. Not that it matters, of course, because they, and their movies and shows, all suck and are indeed douches. Just thought I'd point it out though.
They can appologize all they want to by giving us a cute girl, but Ian Somerhalder is also in this show, and there is no way to applogize for something like that. That's unforgivable.
umm the apology works fer me...
@CheckieEatsOrganicPoptarts@xanga - Yeh I know that it wasn't the guy from twilight, but I when I wrote that post I hadn't finished watching the episode so I didn't know there actually was two of them. I was refering to the Twilight guy and the main character, but thanks for pointing that out it was a bit ambiguous.
(Check the link for the guy I was refering to)
Lalalalalaa
Hey! That show is gonna have Boone from Lost in it!
Not that that is going to make me watch it.... but Lost is awesome.
ahhaha
So, this post was written 7 hours ago, and you still don't have six hundred obsessed females coming to the shows defense? Amazing. Must be a slow day.
Vampires used to be so cool
@raiderjester@xanga - Vampires are like everything else in the world of entertainment. Once it finds a hint of success, all studios jump on board and pretty soon we can't get away from it. Between books, movies and TV shows, we have been "vampired to death" over the past few years and I think people are beginning to look for something new.
@xenas_shortskirt@xanga - Talk about one more reason to not watch this show. I'm one of the biggest LOST fans out there, but I can't stand Ian Somerhalder.
@CheckieEatsOrganicPoptarts@xanga - Excellent point. It's the commercialism of America! But I always thought that Vampires would stand the test and remain cool.
*sigh*
I'd just like to say that these books came out years before Twilight came out so I think the show deserves a little less hatin' (despite the fact that it's being produced now b/c of the Twilight craze...)
Haha, I was a few steps away from writing this post myself! The television scene is definitely being super saturated with vampires. Check True Blood, Twilight, The Vampire Diaries, Daybreakers (except this actually looks good!).
The only good thing about The Vampire Diaries is that Ian Somerhalder is in it, who if you know, played Boone in Lost! Lost, which is basically the greatest television show on the Earth!
Just to let you know, that guy you speak of was NEVER in Twilight, so don't even start complaining until you know your facts. Also, The Vampire Diaries books came out before the books for Twilight (and I have in fact heard that they even inspired Twilight), so don't bash it too soon. Also, watch the show at least once before you make judgements. It's actually a LOT better than the Twilight movie. There's actual real acting... OOOOO! She may seem expressionless in that pic, but Nina isn't all that bad. Also, yes, I do agree with others on here; It has Ian Somerhadler (Boone of Lost) in it which makes it even cooler! Enough sad, haha. I will agree with you that the "vampire craze" is getting a little bit out of control... I, too, miss the days when they were cool and the only vampires people seemed to care about were Angel and Spike from BtVS. The last thing I'm going to say is this: Don't knock The Vampire Diaries until you've seen it.
@CheckieEatsOrganicPoptarts@xanga - I'm uselessly attracted to pretty much anything that moves. Even pretty ones. :/ Aka Boone both moves and is pretty. Plus it does help that Lost is EPIC.
D: I never understand the love for vampires. They suck your blood. Creepy.
He wasnt in twilight, but he was in a lot more movies. I think he can actually act though, just not in that horrid Vampire Diaries show
@xenas_shortskirt@xanga - Sounds like we share a similar view on things when it comes to LOST. I have to admit that although Taken was great, the fact that Maggie Grace (Shannon from LOST) was in it made it that much better to me. And don't let me find out that Emile De Ravin (Claire) is going to be in a movie, I have sat through numerous crappy movies just because she was in it.
@The_Eclectic_Dreamer@xanga - The first ever defense for the Vampire Diaries.
And yay, I actually really like LJ Smith's books and the fact that it's become a tv show is pretty amazing. Yay :)
I have no idea what anything in this entry is talking about because I don't watch TV or read vampire books (other than real classics like Dracula), but I clicked on that link, and wow, I've never heard of this actor, but he's from my hometown!
@mynameisblueskye@xanga - I'll take F rated vampire p0rn over this..
@Swhatley@xanga - I was going to say that. Or at least that Twilight is copying the Vampire Diaries series, so let's just all hate Twilight.
None of it beats True Blood. ima go watch me some season finale RIGHT NOW.
@CheckieEatsOrganicPoptarts@xanga - "vampired to death". Haha. The irony in that statement makes me chuckle.
I agree though.
*head deak* Head Deak* Head deak*. No wait, it's still there? *continues to smash head against desk.*
Remember the good old days when it was "weird to like vampires and everything else associated with it? Now every goddamn tween thinks they are a vampire. Reminds me of that south park episode when a new Hot Topic was in town.
my room mate is obsessed with twilight and vampire related "stuff".
she wanted me to try and watch it but one, it just sounds awful and two, i always hear horrible things about it.
girls are dumb and buy into anything concerning romance no matter how fanfiction-esque it is or cliche shoujo manga it is.Â
