Bella Swan, the biggest setback to feminism since the Sandwich.

Ladies and gentlemen.. the count down to the beginning of the end is on!! Part one of Breaking Dawn is released in less that a month. then, a year after that, part two. Last year, I sponsored "Kill a Cullen" on Bloodlines.. this year.. ah hell, just let the mocking be brutal. Take no prisoners, and give no ground. I applaud Stephanie Meyer on her success, and Hollywood, for equally turning it into the biggest joke. I could do a slew of Twilight jokes, and Edward jokes, but that would just be cheap funny. Here is a protagonist we are supposed to relate to.. and she is so mind numbingly brain dead in the movies. If she had two brain cells to rub together.. but that would require brain cells. Girls, let's be honest. There is a safety switch wired into our subconscious, similar to how you cannot drown yourself by holding your own head under water, or how your eyelids close when you sneeze. We all have this instinct for when to get the hell out of the relationship. We fight this instinct and call it love. Bella has the most dependent nature in EVERY relationship she has. She needs her mom and her dad to need her. If left alone, they could be perfectly competent adults, her dad is a police chief for crying out loud. Edward, she is just plain dependent on, same with Jacob. So my dear anti-twi-hards, why go for the cheap and easy funny, look closer at what we mock, and find the deeper issues, and we will find more material. Everyone can make a fart joke, but it takes real comedians to do political stand up. Keep Calm, and mock on.
