Poor evangelicals. As if they didn’t have enough on their hands battling the satanic Harry Potter series.

Yikes. The evangelical community is going to love this–Mormons as an attractive charismatic people, who don’t seem to have/acknowledge human frailities, who take your soul so it doesn’t get into heaven, and live off the larger community as predators.

Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar.

Of course, that doesn’t stop the cultural historians i’m in the middle of doing fieldwork with from talking about the “male gaze” all the time, so maybe a cigar isn’t just a cigar for everyone.

Sorry for the double post.

KJS — no one reads “Twilight” for mental stimulation. Wish fulfillment perhaps, but not mental stimulation. But I can’t stand the books, so maybe I’m just a bit biased.

What I find funny about the “Aryan features” thing is yeah, my mom’s side is 6 generations of Utah Mormons but me? I’m 5′1″ and brown of hair and eye. Not Aryan by anyone’s definition.

Of course, when I said “obsessed” it is in a completely good way.

And PDE,

I agree that the other features aren’t that bad except for being likened to Aryan bloodsuckers. I’ll have to my research and read the books to get to the bottom of this. Even “Aryan features” may not that bad in and of themselves but the comments is still worth and “headesk.”

Maybe your wife is “obsessed” because she is desperately seeking mental stimulation.

My husband: “So, in all that, it’s ‘Aryan’ you take offense at?”

Me: “She may be reducing things ludicrously; she may be comparing apples and kumquats but ‘misunderstood,’ ‘loyal,’ ‘cultured,’ and ‘not promiscuous’ aren’t exactly descriptions I’m going to complain about.”
