Mormons please stop reading here if you are touchy about your religion. I wouldn’t want to offend anyone.
Also: ATTENTION — SPOILER. Only if you have read Breaking Dawn (or at least the First 200 pages or so) should you go on reading.
There is a certain author whose books some of us read eagerly. I’m talking about the Twilight Saga. But if you think about it for a second, well, these are the values they’re trying to imprint (haha, sorry about using the “i” word) on us:
- Sex before marriage is wrong.
- The happiest thing you can do is get married at 18.
- Girls are meant to be mothers.
- Abortion sucks.
Little girls should not be allowed to read such books. Along the influence of the Jonas Brothers, this will turn our reasonable world upside-down. The very thought of going back to puritanism scares the willies out of me.
“The very thought of going back to puritanism scares the willies out of me.”
HAHA
Agh, I agree with you. When you start reading it’s like “holy crow, a mormon who writes about vampires and werewolves and a platonic relationship of love and lots of lust” but… that’s the surface.
Oh and the Jonas brothers annoy the fuck out of me. Mainly because I know someday they’ll be in every magazine for being found at some club drunk out of their heads and screwing every living creature there.

Only every living creature? I mean, are you crossing out all inanimated objects such vibrating rings and similar toys as possibilities? Because I’m sure there’ll be some involved.
I feel sorry for their proud parents, who (I’d like to think) believe in the values they’ve taught their children to embrace.
