Is anyone else creeped out by the front page?

If you dislike it here [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/read/6.171087]'s where everyone else is complaining.

Spoiler: A comment from the artist

I don't think it's fair to dismiss the article simply there are some man-bits present. It's ... disappointing to see. I was hoping for a reaction more like around the office here - "Haha! That's crazy!" Not "OMG man bewbs! *head explosion*"

I find them creepy too. I keep mistaking Edward for Bella as well.

I almost had to hire a hooker to make sure I didn't lose my heterosexuality from looking at the main screen.

You! WHORE!

...Am I a...

MAN?!

I was afraid it was going to tell me that there was a Twilight game in the works. It's bad enough that Desperate Housewives got a game.

I have however seen far far more disturbing things this week...a man with Madonna tattoos on his back with his butt doubling as breast cleavage, a very fat man in a skintight yellow suit who's butt resembles a woman's...::is gagged::

Isn't there a twilight mmo in the works?

If Harry Potter, Interview with the Vampire, & Dracula didn't get one, Twilight sure as hell has no place getting one.

Actually, for the sake of the writer of that article, lets keep the complaining of the shiny man chest to this thread, I would appreciate it greatly! That will keep the comments on the article more on topic with the article itself.

No. I'm secure enough in my sexuality to see a pixelated image of a topless man.

Wow.

 

[brodie21]

yes, that is what we call "airbrushed"

i think we should make a game where you play an assassin tasked with hunting down and killing every single twilight character, leading up to the lady who wrote the books.

it would be easy, admittedly. all you have to do is kidnap the girl and wait for pattinson and the other douchebag to come running to save her, then whip out the minigun.

after that, just hang a sign that says 'free hair gel' and nab the rest

 

[Macgyvercas]

Here you go OP

Anything that looks even remotely like Twilight needs to be burned, IMO.

 

[PwnSt0nes]

yah, im not returning until that damn twilight crap is gone, i dont care how childish that is of me lol

 

[Azure-Supernova]

So much as that I'm avoiding the home page at all costs

I am laughing so hard right now, thanks for that!

 

[Kriptonite]

I am highly disturbed. At first I wasn't sure that I was on the real Escapist. I think the picture should be replaced.

Sorry. I just thought that you were responding only on that thread. It would be best to keep the complaints here for the reasons you stated.

Anyway, you have seriously misjudged peoples reaction. Nothing polarises people more than twilight. Nothing!

[sub]I wish I wasn't such a literary snob and so could ignore anything related to this fad[/sub]

 

[Aesir23]

I'm trying to avoid the front page as much as possible until the next issue comes out, soon hopefully.

Sparklepires should be banned from the front page.

LuLz - In any case I know what you all are getting for Christmas BUawhahahhaha!

 

[DSEZ]

honestly it freaked me out

 

[Dauntlessidiot]

Bit of a random little topic, I know.

Someone post the obligatory "kill it with fire" meme, kthx.

kill it with fire

 

[TheMadTypist]

Oh yes, I do find it creepy, but I simply envision a cross of Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Bayonetta charging into frame and slaying the bleeding hell out of the pair of them.

 

[Jharry5]

I usually go to my profile page, so I rarely see the front page.

My curiousity got the better of me. I've really got to learn to just leave stuff like that alone...

 

[DemonicVixen]

Bit of a random little topic, I know.

But yeah, the latest issue is out, so right now every time I return to the front page I get bombarded with an image of the guys from Twilight, topless.

No chest should be that shiny.

[small]And the eyes...STOP LOOKING AT ME![/small]

I have actually read that article, and its all very interesting, but that picture just needs to be burned. Someone post the obligatory "kill it with fire" meme, kthx.

Anyone else getting freaked out by this image?

OMG!! I LOVE THAT IMAGE!... well, if its anything like the one i have seen so many times. God the lads look lush on the movie. As for Edward being sparkly, who gives a damn, i love shiny, sparkly things and so i love him. Rob Pattinson? Not so much, cute on the movies, not so much in real life.
