Twilight.... it's a ridiculous excuse to make vampires 'pretty' again. Anne Rice already achieved that and we really don't need some new take on it.
But that's not REALLY the issue when it comes to Twilight. The bad part is the message this crap is sending to young girls.
Apparently, being stalked by a creepy, pale '17 year old' who's manipulative, brooding, and emotionally distant is 'romantic'. This bull is teaching young girls that their life revolves around finding some guy to take care of you for eternity... and that sex is only possible after you marry(which therefore encourages kids to 'marry' right out of high school just so they can get it on with their boyfriends... needless to say, this leads to more than several regrets).
Basically, the Twilight verse promotes mindlessness. And all with 'vampires' that sparkle. Plus, Stephanie Meyer writes like a 5 year old.
