This little marketing gimmick out of New Zealand for the TV program True Blood is, by many accounts, more clever than the show itself, which is yet another case of someone falling in love with a goddamned vampire. One would think, what with Anne Rice and Twilight and the Blade movies and such, that people would know how to kill vampires by now. It took what, two or three zombie movies for people to figure out that shooting them in the head killed them, and yet we still need diagrams to show us where the stake should go?
