It’s “True Blood” Time And Everybody’s Horny

At brunch the other day, we tried to query our neighborhood vampire expert about why, exactly, vampires are all the rage now. Clearly, the rise of zombies had been tied to the early '00s cultural zeitgeist...but why vampires?

"You're overthinking it," our friendly neighborhood vampirologist said. "It's just that vampires are sexy."

Later, we found ourselves watching "True Blood." When this came on, we realized how right she had been.

Vampires are just sexy. And for that, we are truly grateful.
