Default Another thought provoker...vampires....

I just thought oif this how portrayals over the years have changed....

Vampires were once considered undead, unhallowed, dirty, despicable, beings that were beyond redemption and feasted on human blood and were considered monstrous....

Now they are revered, admired, treated with honour and dignity....

I know they are fictional creatures but interesting how mainstream media has changed perception of them and people are now fascinated....

Meanwhile someone which is a vegan that has no problem if someone had to feast on human blood in order to exist..... hates hunters who feed on the meat of animals to survive.

I find it interesting how much affect mainstream media has....

Now if we could just turn it around for our own image hunters....Heck we need the same PR guy that vampiures had...

I think you can thank Hollywood and select novelists for the change of perception.

Have you confused vampires and Redford's government?

Vampire's may be fictional but Vlad the Impaler sure was not.

Maybe there's still hope for the Senate?
