I got into the television show True Blood much the same way I do with most everything else in my life. I’m a sucker for brilliant marketing. I’m a salesman’s wet dream I think you get the picture. Although I’m a huge fan of vampire lore, it was the seductive lips dripping with blood on [...]

There’s nothing like them, is there? Vampires, I mean. It seems like the world simply can’t get enough of them. From Abraham Lincoln (see here) to the True Blood phenomenon at Comic-Con (see here), vampires are everywhere. They’re everywhere you look. They live amongst us. So don’t fight them. Embrace them!

What’s that saying our parents and teachers would angrily ask us when we were younger? “If everyone else jumped off a bridge, would you do it too??” If the cast of True Blood jumped, then apparently I’m going to follow. I don’t watch many television shows. I used to watch Sportscenter religiously but that has [...]

I remember at last year’s Comic-Con extravaganza seeing all these True Blood signs and Tru Blood advertisements, not knowing what they were really for. I just figured out it was some kind of brilliant marketing scheme, which it was of course. I thought they were for a real beverage that actually existed. Was I ever [...]
