Twilight fever… akin to the Rage Virus?

Posted by Ms Harker | Filed under Creepy Pictures, Horror Films, Horror Reading, Life imitates Horror

Depression era rationing of internet bandwidth has been occurring in the Harker house hold this week, its almost over , however it has had a detrimental effect on my ability to keep up with the teaser trailers etc. As apparently, because of my web habits, it is due to me we are on rations, why I never! So this has left me trawling through forums, flaming some boards and having some hilarious interactions with a couple of my fellow femme fatale bloggers BJ-C (Day of the Woman) and Superheidi (PrettyScary.net).

Some of these interactions have involved discussions/digs at the Twilight Saga and Twifans. Now regular readers know my thoughts on the Twilight Saga. However I have been both shocked and appalled at the viciousness of the Twifans towards those who do not agree with them.

The first footage from the new film in the Twilight Saga: New Moon has been posted on Fangoria today. As you can see from the comments regarding the new footage the Twifans are a little overstimulated. Which is surprising considering the amount of advertising, both subliminal and brutal the public is being subjected to by the Twilight PR machine. BJ-C at Day Of The Woman has reached her wits end, coining the new term which is hilarious ‘Twatlight’.

Superheidi at Pretty-Scary was subjected to some rude comments when she posted about the New Moon movie posters, which lets face it are quite rubbish. As is most of the merchandising whether it be coffee mugs, tote bags, bookmarks, key rings, pencil cases, stickers, bobble heads , or your very own Edward Cullen Doll to molest at night (see below).

These interactions got me thinking, that potentially we are witnessing a new type of virus, not unlike the Rage Virus in 28 Days Later. It only infects those under the age of sixteen, it impairs their ability to form a rational argument, articulate/communicate in proper English. It also appears to impair the frontal lobe as the level of dis-inhibition and aggression towards others is also distinctive. However unlike an acquired brain injury, which damages the same part of the brain and involves similar impairments, the aggressive behaviour in these sufferers is triggered by criticism of the Twilight Saga, leaving me to conclude and name the disorder Twilight Fever or Twi-flu.

There is no known cure in sight for Twi-flu and unfortunately there is still three more films to hit screens (including New Moon), this disorder will become more prevalent and spread further throughout the world. There may be potential for a vaccine. Therefore I propose raising funds by starting a Grey Ribbon Day. Grey to symbolise the Twilight vampires who can walk around in the daytime as long as its overcast.

So next time you are abused online by a Twifan, remember Twi-flu, remember grey ribbon day and give generously.
