Just released today on their official YouTube page, the trailer to the third installment of the Twilight Series has fan girls everywhere going fuckin ape shit.  Parents neglecting there children, people risking losing their jobs to stay home, head on car collisions from watching the trailer on their phone, and you know what the sad thing about is this, it’s all true.  The release of the Eclipse has struck pandemonium everywhere over who will Bella choose, Edward or Jacob?

Now I’m not one for the Twilight Series, but the franchise is a worthy opponent to James Cameron’s Avatar.  Do not underestimate the fandom of fan-girls, their far more intense than there gender opposite fan-boys.   Which we covered in our Twilight:  New Moon, Crushes Nerds! article.

According to Boxofficemojo.com the first two films brought in 1.9 billion collectively, but where the franchise really makes their bread and butter is the merchandise.  It is  reported that the merchandise alone has brought in nearly half a billion dollars, due to it’s large popularity with the teen Hot Topic crowd.  I mean you can’t go anywhere with out seeing some form of Twilight merchandise. Twilight Mints, Twilight Denture Paste, Jacob Flea Medication for Dogs, Bella Make Up, Edward Make Up, Twilight Shamwow, and Edward Anti-Gravity Hair Gel.

In the end all we can do is ride this Twilight thing out, and go on with are lives once its over.
