Mitt Romney is a Twilight fan

[darksumomo]

Mitt Romney had quite a scandalous revelation to share on this morning's Today show: He does, from time to time, and always while exercising great caution, participate in certain leisurely activities, like watching television and reading novels. Would Mother Mittens approve of this? Let's just say, doubtful.

American Idol is a delightful television

Of course a Republican would like it. It's got men controlling women, it's pretty much all whitebread white people except for that noble savage dude, a huge abstinence AND anti-abortion message and it's basically a mormon romance novel.

Republicans would LOVE for us to live in Twilight.

I doubt Republicans are the only group who read Twilight.

It romanticizes stalking. It's anti-sex. It promotes traditional gender roles in a big way. It's indistinguishable from their message, except with vampires pasted on.

So much THIS. Glorifying harmful gender roles! Telling girls to sacrifice their lives for their pregnancies! Gay people don't exist! Noble savage stereotypes everywhere! It's a religious-right-winger's wet dream.

Not to mention cliche as fuck.
