Im sure that (for the most part, at least) I'm preaching to the choir when I say that Twilight is awful. Its the worst thing to happen to pop culture since well, I cant think of anything anywhere close. For the purpose of this article, Im willing to put aside the fact that the books are laughably badly written pieces of garbage that are only successful because of pre-pubescent girls who dont know how to have a boyfriend. Im willing to ignore the fact that the films, as films, are laughably badly written and acted pieces of garbage that are only successful because of pre-pubescent girls who dont know how to have a boyfriend. I can ignore those things (well, I can't, but I won't use them as reasons in this article, I swear!). However, this doesnt change the fact that there are some pretty ridiculous messages that the book sends out and, when you consider the age group of the people reading them, this is quite worrying. Bearing in mind that I have only watched the first two films and have read little more than extracts of the book with no context. Here are just a few, each of them taken from the first two films alone.
