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 […]

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 […]
