Because of 'Twilight'.

2. Vampires have never "offended" me ...

The idea of a sparkling vampire, however, is quite offensive.

Furthermore, the damage done to the English language and the art of writing by those books is unforgivable.

3. The real crime is that someone might confuse
...the "Twilight" saga with art.

4. Indeed ...

I didn't actually believe how bad they were. I thought it might have been one of those "it's popular so we must hate it" things.

So I read the first one.

I will not read another, nor another word that individual writes. It's atrocious. I've read better fan-fiction.

6. Not only is the sparkly funny, but it makes for an easy halloween costume.
I've already informed my husband that I plan on throwing glitter at him and calling him Edward next Halloween. Silly guy doesn't believe me.

7. Sadly yes, I agree, but
sparkly is one thing, and smelling putrid is quite another. In my opinion, blood suckers aren't sexy.
