The Twilight series by Stephanie Meyer is probably the most loved and the most hated series out there at the moment, most of this love/hate is aimed towards either Edward or Bella. While I haven't read the books (sadly, I've seen the movies...), I've heard enough about them that I think I have a fairly decent grasp on the situation. Bella is a fragile, helpless girl who is "unconditionally and irrevocably in love" (and apparently, arbitrarily) with Edward, the sparkly (an overused, but surprisingly accurate, description), superman-y, totally unrealistic, vampire. There are about a hundred things wrong with the relationship portrayed in the book/movies, ranging from the stalkerish possessiveness Edward has over Bella to the unrealistic expectations it sets for obsessive readers. This video shows how this little pairing would go down in REAL life. You know, if Bella was anywhere near mentally stable and/or aware of the concept of stalking, and the illegal/serial killer-ish connotations that go along with it. Needless to say, it's a great video.
