Wednesday night, police discovered a twenty-three year "transient" slumped in his car, dead, outside a Wellington, New Zealand theater screening of Eclipse, the series latest film installment.
To paraphrase my favorite Quaid, I've been saying it for years. (Ain't I been sayin' it, Miguel?) Twilight is undeniable blueprint for murder, more potent and viable than all the "violent" video games I've ever played in my life put together.
The official cause of death is yet to be determined at press time...but I think we could hazard a few guesses. The continued success of the Twilight series has led me to contemplated suicide once or twice myself, and frankly I'm grateful to find I'm not alone. So I'd like to salute you, anonymous transient man, and let the whole world know that you're death was not in vain.

Everybody knows things are bad. And I don't want to reheat any particular plate of scaremongering hash today. The corporate media has that market cornered. I don’t want to make you my complacent audience. You're already that: look at you. Look at us, glued to our chairs, muscles atrophying into dust. But like Howard Beale, the mad prophet of the airwaves, I’m not going to leave you alone. I want you to get mad.
