I consider Twilight to be 'chick porn'. That's not to say that chicks don't dig actual porn, but books like twilight and romance novels cater to a deep seated primal need in many women much like hot sweaty fake-tittied sluts slapping uglies with average looking joes caters to a deep seated primal need in many men.
Chicks react to the guy who plays Edward much the way I might react to Asia Carerra
And as much as I like to imagine that this story is satire, it actually hits very close to the reason why my last wife became my ex-wife.
