Is This My Punishment for Writing so Much Baby!fic?

[amberfocus]

Oh, Borders.  *sighs*  You make me want to turn in my discount book card.  Why do you think that I, as an adult, would want to buy this?

Could be worse. Could be panties with Edward Cullen's face on the crotch.

[amberfocus.livejournal.com]

They...they make those? *shudders*

[juliet316]

I really wish I was making that up. They also have ones with Jacob on them as well as a 'recreation' of Bella's womb, complete with baby.

[amberfocus.livejournal.com]

Ewwww.

[juliet316]

That was my thought.

[rosewarren.livejournal.com]

a 'recreation' of Bella's womb, complete with baby.

NO WAY! That is so much more awful than Edward's face anywhere.

[amberfocus.livejournal.com]

It's horrifying!

[juliet316]

I think they're equal levels of horror actually. But I really wish I was making that up. *Sighs* The things you learn on fanficrants

[yavie-namarie.livejournal.com]

*absolutely horrified*

[juliet316]

Tell me about it.

[yavie-namarie.livejournal.com]

Whoever would want Robert Pattinson's face on their crotch has some serious mental issues...

[juliet316]

Oh some Twilight fans have taken their obsession several steps further. Sparkling bedazzled vaginas anyone?

I really wish I was making THAT one up!

[yavie-namarie.livejournal.com]

*facepalm*

[juliet316]

Blame shinyopals for the fact that I know that one. Could have gone through life not knowning that fact. It's the chief reason I claim that Twilight fans scare the hell out of me.

[yavie-namarie.livejournal.com]

Yeah.... I've read the first two books, and I really don't see what the big deal is. The fact that people are that obsessed is more than just a bit scary...

[juliet316]

They go above and beyond all other fandoms, really. No other fandom that I've seen is THAT bat crazy.

[kitsune17.livejournal.com]

Even worse? Re-usable panty liners with Edwards face on them.

I wish to the gods that I was joking.

[amberfocus.livejournal.com]

What are the marketing people thinking? Heck, what is Stephenie Meyer thinking? If I had a brand I would never allow that sort of abuse of it.

[kitsune17.livejournal.com]

To be fair, I don't think SMeyer knows about the panty liners, what with them being on Etsy.

You have to consider the source material. It's a bit rubbish. If she is aware, SMeyer may be allowing these because she knows that one day the Twihards will see through the sparkle haze to the poor grammar and abusive relationships that the book truly is.

[juliet316]

One can only hope because my nephew is a Twilight fan and if I ever catch him doing even a hint of the stuff Edward pulls there will be consequences.

[juliet316]

*head punches out a wall*

[erateini.livejournal.com]

OMG, there is no reason for this to exist!

[amberfocus.livejournal.com]

Yes, agreed. Or for it to be in my email.

[jiji-bean.livejournal.com]

I got almost the same exact thing in my email - except from Barnes & Noble (no Borders in my city) *sigh*

[amberfocus.livejournal.com]

Oh, gosh, that means I might get one from them, too, as I have their discount card as well. Ugh.

[stillbrainfried.livejournal.com]

*shudder*

And Captain Underpants sadly doesn't look the least bit like Jack Harkness :(

[amberfocus.livejournal.com]

That I could handle!

[stillbrainfried.livejournal.com]

Yeah, me too ;-)

Hmmm, I guess I need a Jack Harkness icon...

[emraldeyedauter.livejournal.com]

Bawhahahaha! Oh the images that conjures up.

[amberfocus.livejournal.com]

All really, really bad one!

[sigmastar79.livejournal.com]

Good Grief ! Why would anyone respectable buy THAT *sudders in disgust*

Could be worse like juliet316 said, those underwear are disgusting, my sister has the ones with the baby, then she couldnt understand why i ran in the bathroom and hurled * sudders from memory*

I have young kids and i still wouldn't buy that junk!

[amberfocus.livejournal.com]

I'm sort of at the, why would anyone with money (respectable or not) by that phase.

My youngest is ten and he thinks it looks idiotic.

[juliet316]

My nephew is a Twilight fan. if I ever catch him doing some of the stuff Edward does, there will be serious consequences.

[rosewarren.livejournal.com]

Good grief.

[amberfocus.livejournal.com]

I know, right? Awful.

[crimedoc1.livejournal.com]

*sigh* I just got this in my email as well. So if you buy two of these unspeakable books, you are given the privilege of wasting even MORE money on an equally unspeakable t-shirt that no one in their right mind would be caught dead wearing?

*shudders*

[amberfocus.livejournal.com]

I guess it's very popular with the three to five year old set, but I cannot see why.

[sigmastar79.livejournal.com]

I second that crimedoc1, i got it on my yahoo a bit ago. Although on a funny point, my 7 and 12 year old saw the email and they said they wouldn't read those books if you paid them. I couldn.t help but laugh at that. It's pretty bad when kids dont even like it lol :P

[amberfocus.livejournal.com]

My son was the same way. He just thought it was stupid looking.

[sigmastar79.livejournal.com]

LOL, well he's right, it does look stuipd hehe

[jellybean728.livejournal.com]

If this is what's out there for boys, I guess I'll just thank my lucky starts my son doesn't like to read.

[yavie-namarie.livejournal.com]

Geez louise... *rolls eyes*
What happened to kids reading quality literature? Like the classics?

[10-rose.livejournal.com]

Reading the classics seems to have died out along with the Wishbone series. :(
