Tinfoil Hat Conspiracy Theory of the Day

Comes from Chadders

Well, I reasoned that there is a social bias in the media to portray the vampire as being "cool". Previously, the vampire was definitely depicted in the media as an evil monster, think Nosferatu and Dracula, to name but two. Now look at the current state of the media, vampire's have come out of the monster-closet and are now successful business people, coordinating efforts rather than ripping some young virgin's throat out (although, this can still be an option). Think Underworld, Angel, Blade, UltraViolet, The Lost Boys, Interview with the vampire, the list goes on and on. All these shows / films are pretty much about one thing, vampires being cool.

I also reasoned that maybe there's a controlling influence behind all this. Maybe, we're being prepared by entities to accept vampires as cool entities, as opposed to blood-sucking monsters. In the same way that there are conspiracy theories floating around about the existence of shape-shifting lizards controlling our destinies, again which we are being prepared to accept with shows like V, maybe vampires are an alternative and opposing force. Behind the scenes, who knows, maybe there is a battle between vampires and other forces for our attention and respect.

I blame Mark Rein blob Hagen myself. Maybe he's just an agent of the blood-sucking monster Dick Cheney.
