You are taking it too far, marketers and twihards

Stamped: 2:39 PM

Karen and I saw this at the airport. A publisher is marketing 1847's Wuthering Heights to twilight fans since Bella and Edward have to read it for school, making the book cover match the Twilight book covers.

In other ridiculous twilight news, there's a new site out there called My Life Is Twilight where people share their addictions to the book. One post:
"i had a test and i took out a pic of edward to stare at while i worked. i turned bright red when the teacher came over to see if i was cheating off it and when she took it away to show the teachers at the front i nearly cried. MLIT"
Or:
Today I asked my boyfriend if he would hold ice to his lips for a minute before he kissed me, so I could pretend I was kissing Edward. He did. MLIT
And finally:
Today I had twin boys and named one Edward and the other Jacob. MLIT
If you want to read their top posts, they have conveniently ranked them for you and they're all as ridiculous as the ones above.

This book cannot be stopped.
