 My heads already hurting. I've had to explain enough times to folks that the book is a work of fiction and yet they keep asking if he really hunted vampires and it's something teachers fail to teach because of some big conspiracy. No, I've never read the book, when I first heard of this I thought the person asking about it was nuts until I did a net search which brought up as one of the first hit's an Amazon link. That right there proved a red flag that it was fiction. And sure enough it was. Now I can accept folks reading something like that for entertainment as long as they understand it's fictional, but it does bother me when they insist it was fact. And they push it as such.

When I went on Yahoo their logo was advertising for the latest Pirates of the Caribbean movie I had to hit IMDb to find out if the advert was because the movie opened this week. I already knew it was coming out considering commercials had been on TV for a little bit, but the fact that Yahoo had their logo changing as an advert had me wondering if it was because the movie opened today. And sure enough IMDb announced it was one of today's opening movies. But it also announced that Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter will be released next year as a movie. My head's hurting already from all the folks who are gonna be asking if it's true and all who are gonna be pushing that it's true.
