At 39 seconds in, roughly, the fourth kid/teen/idiot to the right in the red dress, is that male or female?

Because it looks like a guy in a dress.

no please, don't feel bad.

they have earned their ridicule.

ugh...That's one of the saddest, most pathetic things I've ever seen. At least Forks is making bank off of these idiots. Twihards? More like twi-tards.

If reading Twilight taught me anything, it is that people from small towns are generally stupid. (Unless they're an emasculated vampire, of course.)

So it really isn't their fault that Stephenie Meyer corrupted their simple minds.

Wow. I'm glad I prefer Discworld.

Reminds me of how Berkittsville, Maryland cashed in on the Blair Witch Project. You can't blame the town for playing it up; this is probably been a boon for them, and in this economy you take whatever suckers come along.

See, the pity is that Forks looks like such a nice little rural town--scenic, small enough to have community, remote from the cities--but it's pretty much ruined now. Well, for at least a decade. Then everyone will forget Twilight ever existed and Forks, Washington will be just an obscure little Northwestern town again.

Oh wow! My sister told me about how rediculous Forks is! She goes to school in Washington and was exploring around that area when she stopped in Forks and said it was just awful. I guess the entire town is just Twilight oversaturated. The Sheriff even answers the phone as Bella's dad. (Also, whenever she told anyone about that trip, everyone would get excited and ask if she went to Forks.)

Its going to be interesting to see when Twilight's 15 minutes of fame is up, and this small economy built on its fanbase crumbles, and leaves Forks destitute.

See! proof that god dosent exist! Well At least a loving god.

Nuke it from Orbit!!!

there has never been anything less worthy of such worship.

Fuck, she lives in the same city as me

Was it weird that I felt like smacking all those Twilight fans?

Oof. Those kids made my heart hurt.

Then we got to the part about a designated parking space and my brain started to hurt.

I need to go lie down.

Please, if you come to the Pacific Northwest, have the decency to visit Twin Peaks (Fall City/ North Bend, WA) or Goonies (Astoria, OR) instead!!

Unless you are a Twilight fan, then go to Forks and stay there. Maybe we can wall off the town like in Escape from New York.

@Ahriman
Only way to be sure.

I can't decide....Is this depressing, funny, or both?

Why don't they do something for Sookie Stackhouse down in Louisiana?

Or how about in Chicago for Harry Dresden?

As a near-lifetime western Washingtonian who is all too familiar with pre-Twilight Forks, this entire thing is bizarre beyond mention. It has always been a weird, creepy little logging town. Nobody except for steelhead fishermen EVER went to Forks as a destination in the past, and most people try not to even stop there on their way to the coast if they can help it. It is populated almost entirely by redneck loggers and the like, and since logging is no longer the thriving industry it used to be they are of course going to wring all the money and noteriety as possible out of the Twilight craze.

The lesson? If your creepy little town has a failing resource-based economy, convince some weirdo Mormon chick who's never visited to write a supernatural series based there, then PROFIT! You can't argue with results.

That was so sad that I think a part of me just died...

She googled it…

I didn't know. I DIDN'T KNOW DAMMIT! >_

Judging by the amount of Twilight shit on clearance at Hot Topic (another fine thing ruined by retards pretending to be vampires) I'd say that bloom is off the Twilight rose.

And what is with that asshat's "I just fell out of bed" haircut? Is that supposed to be 'cool' these days?

This is just sad... really sad.

Has a Washingtonian myself, this horrifies me to no end, we should have the national guard quarantine Forks in that giant dome ala The Simpson's movie, it's for the greater good...then we can see about hiring Tom Hanks to advertise our upcoming new Grand Canyon...

Holy Mother Fucking Shit... these people have no life!

Motherfucker. This may be the most enraging thing you've ever posted. Someone please nuke Forks.

Gads... where are the 30 Days of Night vampires when you need them...

About 12 years ago, I went to Forks, as a stopover on a family vacation. It sucked. I asked the receptionist at the motel if there was anything to do in the town. She said no.

it reminds me of The Village.

where's evil flying jesus when you need him?

Its like one of those brain washing camps except an entire town! I could only manage to get 50 secs in before i almost punched my screen!

You know, today was to be a joyful occasion because BlazBlue came out. Why did you have to go and ruin it with this video?

Forks: The easiest place to get free, clean, young #&$$!. Just stand around and look pensive, they practically throw it at you.

I think I'm going to be sick! I can't believe the extent to which these books/film have infected the world. I have read them and whilst I stand by my opinion that hopefully some readers will go onto more classic horror lit, this blatant profiteering does nothing to maintain any optimism I my have had... Twihards or Twatlight, its the same bullocks no matter what you call it. Oh my goodness!

Man that is so wrong. I mean I liked the books but I would never spend money to go to a town across country just because the name is in a freaking book. Cant blame the town for banking though they get stuck with a ton of teenybopper girls swarming to their nice quiet home might as well take all their money while they are there.

I'm a hard core twiligh fan (dont judge me I'm a girl and the books are good) but this is just the stupid shit i have heard in a long time. But no we dont go to a town just because a book is set there. I mean I read the Stepford Wives doesn't mean I'm searching the internets for a Stepford camp where I can learn about the feminist nightmare.

Was.. was that their highschool's graduation? If so, I can't help but feel the intense pain of those students graduating who hate twilight. (in a situation like that, they'll either love it or hate it, it'd be impossible to ignore it.)
as if highschool wasn't an awkward enough time.

Wow. And I thought Salem, MA was full of BS tourist traps. Eh. At least the town can make some cashfall from the stupid stupid Twilight fans.

As a local Washingtonian, I can officially say that nothing about Forks is Nerdy. Not thing one. It is a vial hell hole offering only death and disease upon the world. It's almost as bad as Electron, Washington. At least Electron has that, you know, kick ass name going for it.

"Stephenie's world will be with you forever!!!"

*barf*

Yeah, I really want to live in a world where every time I have sex, everything just "fades to black" in a dainty, ladylike fashion.

I'm glad that Forks' lagging economy has been stimulated, but I'm worried about what'll happen after everyone figures out that these books are poorly written pieces of anti-feminist shit that make those of us who are true fans of the vampire want to throw ourselves off of tall buildings.

I hope they're saving what they're earning and investing it back into the community in positive ways. If I went to Forks HS I would seriously run away from home to avoid all the tourist bullshit! Oh, so I'm late to school, but I can't park my car in the "special spot" where Tyler's van almost hit Bella because it's been DESIGNATED as what, a historic location?!?! F that S.

To think, if that van had been successful in that assassination attempt, we would have had a 20 page book with no sequels. RIP Tyler's van. You are the unsung hero of the Twilight Saga. God speed, my friend. God speed.

wow...
I really don't want to see this movie now. not that I actually wanted to in the first place.
