User blog:Kate.moon/Vampire Author Anne Rice Insults Twilight

Uh-oh. The battle of the vampire sagas just got hotter today. Anne Rice, the author of the famous "Interview with a Vampire" and the Vampire Chronicles, updated her status on Facebook:

'Lestat and Louie feel sorry for vampires that sparkle in the sun. They would never hurt immortals who choose to spend eternity going to high school over and over again in a small town anymore than they would hurt the physically disabled or the mentally challenged. My vampires possess gravitas. They can afford to be merciful.'

You can follow the comment thread on Facebook here. There are both Twilight Saga defenders and defectors in the comments. Do you think the comments are unwarranted or just opinionated?
