That's right folks. The obsession with vampires continues to ravage our society like a plague. Vampire obsession is no longer a simple trend. It is just that, an obsession, fueled by nothing more than lustful desires run rampant in American teenage social structure.
The Twilight saga was bad enough. I know too many people, young women mostly, whose obsession with Twilight borders on sheer lunacy and and absolute, unquestionable, obsession for all things relating to it. Are you Team Edward or Team Jacob? Aka, would you rather sleep with a vampire or a werewolf? It's nothing but supernatural eroticism playing on the unstable, weak, and susceptible minds of the youth.
We see this furthered by television shows such as The Gates and True Blood with a blatant emphasis on sexuality and love affairs, spiced up with the attractive additive of blood and murder.
Now, the newest appearance of vampire love comes in the form of a new film called The Legend of Cain, in which Will Smith plays the part of Adam and Eve's son who killed his brother, except he is, you guessed it, a vampire.
Not only is this twist unoriginal due to the already overplayed over dramatized vampire orgy within American pop culture and media, it is just plain stupid and doesn't work. Can we ever have a film made about history without some idiotic, childish, shallow 21st century twist on it that rapes the story? I doubt it.
I don't see an end to lascivious vampire cravings infecting our culture coming to an end any time soon. Might as well sit back, buckle up, and continue to "enjoy" the ride.
Remember what the great John Adams said.
"Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other."
I think we may have strayed from the moral path just a little bit.
